Subject: National Welsh E1077 (BTX 332J)
Chassis: Leyland Leopard PSU4A/2R
Body: Willowbrook tow-bus
Location: Chepstow, Bulwark depot
Date: c.1984

The conversion of what had been U1280 into towing vehicle E1077 seems to have just been completed and it looks pristine in the depot yard at Bulwark. Surprisingly it carries a Red & White fleet name - it seems to have spent most of its time as a towing bus based at Cwmbran which only became Red & White in 1991.

The trade plate 357 BO was previously carried by an MW6G which had been E8 and later E1057 and had originally been registered TWO 81.
