Subject: Rhondda 309 (HTX 580)
Chassis: AEC Regal III 9621A
Body: Longwell Green B34R
Location: Porth depot
Date: 19-Apr-1962

As well as being used for driver training, 309 was also used as a towing vehicle and the body was cut away permanently at the rear - previously there had been a flap which gave access to what I assume was a spare wheel carrier, very useful on private hire work. 309 is here in the top garage.
