JLJ53245

Subject: Rhondda Buses 702 (A20 RBL)
Chassis: Leyland Tiger TRBTL11/2RP
Body: Plaxton Derwent 3000 B54F
Location: Upper Boat, Cardiff Road
Date: 27-Apr-1996

702 has just left Upper Boat roundabout and is working its regular service, the 132. The Audi behind is clearly anxious to catch up with it.

The 132 remained a constant through the Rhondda Buses era with the timetable only changing by the minor re-timing of odd journeys.

702 saw service into the Stagecoach era as 920 but was sold to GHA, Wrexham in Jun-2000. It lasted a long time with them, finally going for scrap in Oct-2013, just as it reached 25 years old.
