Jones Tiger Cub
Tiger Cubs have never been that common a visitor to Reliance Bus Works, but off the top of my head I can think of three. The most recent was this ex Jones of Aberbeeg semi-automatic example. It arrived with several engines to choose bits from to produce something capable of powering it again. Eventually sufficient serviceable parts were gathered to make it operable and this picture was taken on its first proper road test. Hopefully the surroundings make a sympathetic backdrop to be a reminder of its erstwhile life in the mining communities of South Wales. The picture was taken outside Stoke on Trent's erstwhile mining museum, the former Chatterley Whitfield colliery.
Bodywork 889 AAX is by Weymann to their once very popular 'Hermes' design. Shortly after this, the bus returned to its home at Barry as part of the Cardiff Bus Museum.
