Bws Ysgol, Carreglefn

This former WMPTE MCW bodied Bristol VRT (NOB413M), went through several owners before ending up with Carreglefn Coaches, in the rural village of Carreglefn on the Isle of Anglesey. Used on school bus contract work, the vehicle is pictured parked up at the premises of Carreglefn Coaches on 23rd October 1991, just a few months before it was withdrawn from service. NOB413M was subsequently rescued for preservation, and today, it resides at a transport museum in Birmingham, restored to its original livery as WMPTE 4413.

 

Here's a picture of the same bus in service with WMPTE 10 years earlier in 1981: www.flickr.com/photos/8050359@N07/761287312/in/set-721576...
