Goodbye Bretonside
And thanks for the memories. Since opened in 1958 to replace the 'temporary' bus station in Union Street a vast array of buses and coaches have passed through your entrance. A small selection of them was represented at the cavalcade and closing ceremony 16/7/2016. Of course, in the photo is MOD 571P, a good bus of the south west which was new to NBC Devon General in Torquay as a standard closed top bus. She was sold to Provincial for spares but was found to be too good to scrap and was converted to open top for Weymouth services. Spent last couple of years as 'Beach Bus' for First Cymru. Swansea bus museum.
