Stranger in Town

A short lived venture by First Cymru was Service X10 between Swansea, Neath and Abergavenny, which operated on Tuesdays only to coincide with the town's market day. This was operated by a coach after a morning school run.

 

The principle was good. However, the main gripe from passengers was that the arrival in Abergavenny was too late, and with the return journey not until 1600, too long an afternoon waiting to come home. Needless to say, usage dwindled and the service bit the dust.

 

My shot from September 2009 shows "Shuttle 100" branded Plaxton Profile-bodied Volvo B7R 20358 leaving Abergavenny Bus Station heading for home.
