Pontypridd 52 (GNY 916) Taff Street R Marshall 2534

Subject: Pontypridd UDC 52 (GNY 916)
Chassis: Bristol L6G
Body: Beadle B32R
Location: Pontypridd, Taff Street
Date: 1950s

52 was the second of the two L6Gs but was to have a relatively short life, being scrapped following an accident in April 1959.

As with the Bristol Ks, it was possible to identify examples with the six-cylinder engine as the front bulkhead ended up further back. The result with the Bristol L was a wider cab side window forward of the door and a narrower emergency door. The footstep could also be under the cab door instead of set into the panel under the emergency door.

52 carries an unusual livery variation with an ivory windscreen surround. It is parked opposite the YMCA ready for a trip round the Maesycoed circular.
