Hawkes Coaches,Waunarlwydd GSX 120N.
Hawkes Coaches had a go at commercial bus services for the first time in 1988 with a limited service from Penyrheol to Swansea.It was one each way to start though demand being there it soon was increased.SWT competed aggressively with services 998/9 running in front of the Hawkes 98/9 numbered services.The service started with a refurbished Leopard/Plaxton coach reg'd 723 CTH though this was the first service bus,added when the increased timetable was introduced.
GSX was a very nice bus indeed.You can see from this pic how tidy it was on the whole.Weekly tickets were available and the service went on to operate til Mr and Mrs Hawkes decided to retire,selling out to Veolia in 2005.
