Preserved bus, preserved railway.
Possibly taken on the same occasion as my recent posting of the Routemaster in Llangollen, was this shot of another ex London bus working a shuttle service at the opposite end of the Llangollen Railway. The picture was taken in the station car park at Carrog, the present terminus of the heritage line... I can recommend the cakes and friendly service here in the cosy station buffet!
LUC 204 was an AEC Regal IV with Metro Cammell bodywork. London Transport referred to them as RF class, and in this case, 'Private Hire' RF. Hampson's coaches, not a million miles away in Oswestry were perhaps the last commercial operators of this type of RF with two used on town services up till about 1980.
