Subject: Rhondda 419 (TTX 997) Chassis: AEC Regent V MD3RV Body: Weymann H33/28R Location: Cardiff bus station Date: May-1958
419 basks in the mid-afternoon sun waiting to depart for Merthyr. The lack of people makes me think it's a Sunday, in which case this will be 1630 departure to Merthyr. The solitary Rhondda bus on the service worked departures every three hours as that was the duration of a round trip. It ran at a different time during the week and in that case this would be the 1530 departure, the departure times being estimated from the angle of the sun.
