Rail Replacement - 29

Davies Coaches of Cwmgwili maintains a small Rail Replacement fleet of five vehicles - a Ford Transit, a pair of Volvo B7RLEs fitted with Plaxton Centro and Wright Eclipse Urban bodywork, an Optare Solo and an Optare Versa. All carry a smart, though anonymous, grey, white and red livery, and RRxx WAL registrations.

 

The Plaxton Centro was new to Shropshire operator Minsterley Motors as DX09 GYS. She passed to Yellow Buses of Bournemouth in 2013 and then on to Swansea-based Cymru Coaches in late 2019, where she received registration G11 CYM:

Davies Coaches acquired her in August 2024 with her original plate re-instated and she then gained current plate RR09 WAL.

 

This shot from January 2026 shows her waiting time outside Swansea Railway Station when operating a Transport for Wales Rail Replacement service between Swansea and Llanelli.
