Welsh Bus 18
Reliving the Golden Years...
04/05/2014. Here we take a glimpse back into the golden years of bus travel.
The Bus Depot in Barry has been a fully functional depot on more than one occasion starting life a the home of Western Welsh, before moving on to hold the National Welsh fleet.
It closed it's doors in August 1992 after the downturn that was caused by the Thatcher government's privitisation policy.
For years to come the depot was used for various purposes such as storing the 'Barry Ten' railway steam locomotives.
Finally in 2008 the depot was given a new lease of life when it was bought by the Cardiff Transport Preservation Group.
Today it is home to more than 26 classic buses and coaches from across the South Wales valleys.
