Subject: Taff-Ely BC 18 (HUH 407N)
Chassis: Leyland National 10351/1R
Body: Leyland National B41F
Location: Pontypridd, Broadway
Date: c.Jun-1975

18 had just entered service with Taff-Ely the previous month and is stopped at the Post Office.

There is a comment under this photo which tells the sorry tale of one National being out of service for at least three years due to the inability of British Leyland to supply spares. I had believed it might be this vehicle which would explain the lack of pictures of it in service, but 16 also has large chronological gaps in photo coverage, so it could be either. It was indeed a sorry tale.
