1053 (XFW 953S) was a Bristol LH6L with ECW B43F body that was new in January 1978 to Lincolnshire Road Car as 1058. It was sold in April 1991 to National Welsh in which fleet it became 1053 and was used for driver training. It passed to Rhondda Buses on their formation in February 1992 and continued in the driver training role until May 1995 when it was withdrawn following an electrical fire. It was sold to South Lancs Transport who used it for spares.
The AEC Mammoth Major was based on a chassis originating with the Royal Navy around 1970 and had passed through South Wales and National Welsh, joining Rhondda Buses at the time of formation.
