Celtic Connection - 6
Celtic Travel of Llanidloes received three of these fine Wright Eclipse Urban 2-bodied Volvo B7RLEs in early 2012 after assuming the Powys CC contract for Service X75 (Rhayader-Llangurig-Llnidloes-Newtown-Welshpool-Shrewsbury) from Tanat Valley Coaches (who used Optare Tempos). They remain on fleet strength despite the company having received eight MCV eVoRa-bodied Volvo B8RLEs in recent years.
This September 2013 shot of BG61 SXV was taken as she was laying over at The Gro in Llanidloes.
The service (as the D75) can trace its roots back to Crosville days, and a small depot (be it with only a fueling facility), and later as an outstation of Oswestry depot, was maintained at this location up to Arriva's days, before transferring to Abermule, east of Newtown.
