Subject: Rhondda 310 (HTX 581)
Chassis: AEC Regal III 9621A
Body: Longwell Green B34R
Location: Porth depot
Date: c.1949

310 is almost-new here and particularly tidy, although the glossiness of the vehicle is enhanced by the all-too-frequent rain. These Regals I think were very neat vehicles and of a style that seems to have been unique to Rhondda. This applied particularly to this last batch that had flush-mounted windows with the unusual railway-style ventilators also found on the Regents they rebodied at the same time.
