Subject: Rhondda Buses 257 (L839 MWT) Chassis: Optare Metrorider MR01 Body: Optare B31F Location: Cardiff, The Hayes Date: 11-Mar-1995
257 passes the front of the David Morgan store whilst working the Park and Ride service to Maritime Road. The stone building immediately beyond the David Morgan store includes the entrance to the Royal Arcade.
The Hayes is now pedestrianised with mature trees growing in what was the middle of the road!
257 came from the Darlington Transport Company, sold as a consequence of the bus wars there which led to the collapse of the operator.
