One of National Welsh's very first Bustlers, 2 was painted in the Rhondda Buses colour scheme and looks, (dare I say it?), quite smart.

The bus behind was one of twelve similar buses on loan from West Midlands Travel from February to July/August 1992 to strengthen the fleet for new services in the Barry and Vale of Glamorgan areas, the very services that would see the closure of National Welsh's last depot at Barry where 2 had been based.
