JLJ29327

Subject: National Welsh MD1392 (GTX 759W)
Chassis: Bristol LHS6L
Body: ECW DP27F
Location: Pontygwaith, Margaret Street
Date: 19-May-1984

MD1392 crosses what was still the railway at this time but is now the new A4233. The short-lived Pontygwaith Platform, closed as early as 1914, was located just by this bridge on the right.

The bus is heading towards Ferndale but still showing Porth as the destination. It could possibly be on another working but as it is a Saturday it will not be a school bus.

This stretch of road appears to have no name on maps but the address of the Soar Chapel to the left is shown as Margaret Street, despite Margaret Street otherwise starting in the background and only going to the right.
