New Beginnings - 2

New Adventure Travel secured the long-term Powys County Council contract for Service X63 (Swansea-Neath-Crynant-Ystradgynlais-Sennybridge-Brecon) from January 2013 after a four month tenure by First Cymru.

 

The company acquired Veolia's five Plaxton Centro-bodied VDL SB200s and these became the regular formers, being based at the former Veolia and Long's depot in Abercraf.

An unusual combination, they were sold on a couple of years later, and their places were taken by three former Weavaway 'classic shape' Alexander Dennis Enviro300s:

The Enviro300s were supplemented by an 11m Optare Versa, YJ10 MGV, new for a parking contract at Birmingham International Airport. Whilst the company operated many MetroCitys, I believe that this was its only Versa. This July 2015 shot shows her picking up outside Neath Railway Station on the last journey of the day to Brecon.
