493 rolls into Cardiff bus station, but it's difficult to know where from as the 330 number hadn't been offically used for about three years. It's near enough for a Rhondda bus, though!

The Empire Pool behind appears in a quite a few photographs in this gallery, unsurprisingly given its proximity to the bus station. It was built for the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, the main venue being the adjacent Cardiff Arms Park.
