Subject: Pontypridd UDC 11 (FNY 984) Chassis: Karrier W Body: Weymann UH30/26R Location: Treforest, John Place Date: mid-1950s
11 has reversed into John Place from John Street at the terminus of the trolleybus route. The advert on the side is unusual, with Theophilus being of religious derivation but it may have been the Christian name of the founder of the company. An advert in the local guide suggested you "Let Theophilus be your guide" and as well as the locations shown on the advert on the bus they also had stores in Blackwood, Bridgend and Llanelli.
