Subject: Rhondda 455 (455 KTG)
Chassis: AEC Regent V 2D3RA
Body: Metro-Cammell H39/31F
Location: Cardiff bus station
Date: 2-May-1965

455 is on very familiar territory as these big Regents dominated the Treorchy and Ystrad services.

The advert on the side is for a cable television service and it's a little surprising
to find this on a Rhondda bus as BET (who had a major interest in Rhondda Transport) also had an interest in Rediffusion who were a rival cable TV provider who even advertised in Rhondda timetables. I have been unable to find out anything more about this particular cable provider.
