Taff-Ely 80 (TDW 310J) Glyntaff depot John Kaye (John Boylett) G7016

Subject: Taff-Ely BC 80 (TDW 310J)
Chassis: Leyland Atlantean PDR1A/1
Body: Alexander H43/31F
Location: Glyntaff depot
Date: c.1983

Whilst most of the secondhand Atlanteans had the route number display set to show their fleet number, in the case of 80 the display was panelled over and the fleet number transfers applied there.

To the right is 81 which will only just have arrived and doesn’t carry a fleet number at all as yet. It later carried it below the windscreen and at other times above the destination display. Number blinds were never fitted and that part of the display was painted out in black.
