Subject: National Welsh HR808 (VHB 672S) Chassis: Bristol VRT/SL3/501 Body: ECW H43/31F Location: Cardiff, St. Mary Street Date: c.1987
HR808 had previously carried an advertising scheme for Younger's Scotch Bitter but is here seen with a later scheme for Hunter Bitter. What is not so obvious is that they were both products of the same company - Hunter Bitter seems to have been a heavily-promoted but unsuccessful product that is now largely forgotten.
The bus is bound for the bus station in Cardiff, the destination blind has laready been set for the return journey.
