Express Motors, Penygroes T813 CBW
The final Volvo saloon to join the fleet had a unique feature, in being the only dual-doored single-decker to operate here. Of course, the two DAF DB250s in the fleet at the end were still in London two-door layout, and a Bristol VRT had operated as such many years earlier.
T813 CBW was odd anyway with having a dual-door layout, but not ever having been in London, but City of Oxford were one of the few operators to specify such features for their city routes. It stayed like this after transfer to Go North East, where it spent 4 years. Upon arrival at Penygroes, it was lettered for the Snowdon Sherpa services, and spent much of its time on the S2 between Llanberis and Betws-y-Coed, and was caught here shortly after leaving Capel Curig on its return to Llanberis.
