Previous Generation
A rewind to August 2012 and a not too dissimilar photo of Stagecoach in South Wales Alexander PS-bodied Volvo B10M 20385 on the Cynon Valley side of the Maerdy Mountain Road as she makes the descent to Aberdare when operating Service 172. In those days, the service operated between Porthcawl and Aberdare daily, with the Merthyr Tydfil only being introduced in 2023.
This was during the final couple of months when the PSs were allocated to the 172, but would soon bow out in favour of the 12-plate Alexander Dennis Enviro300-bodied Scania K230UBs (28636-42 batch).
Wonderful Machines.
