Gower Pony - 8
Veolia made a significant investment in 39 new vehicles for its South Wales fleet in 2007. These comprised six MCV Evolution-bodied MAN 14.220s, six Plaxton Primos, 11 Optare Solos of various lengths, five Plaxton Centro-bodied VDL SB200s and 11 similar bodied Volvo B7RLEs, all carrying CN07 and CN57 plates. This largely coincided with the assumption of a large contract for Powys CC, though the new stock was spread across all depots.
At the time, Crofty depot held the Swansea Council contract for the Gower network, which required six vehicles, supplied by the Council. However, the company's own vehicles acted as back up. This was the case in this April 2008 shot of MAN CN07 FSD seen approaching the turning point in Llangennith when operating Service 115, which links the villages in the north and south of the Peninsula. The tip of Worm's Head at Rhossili is just visible in the distance.
She passed to Watts of Bonvilston in 2011

and then to Faresaver of Chippenham in 2013, where she presumably ended her days.
