Subject: Rhondda 254 (HTG 722)
Chassis: AEC Regent III 9612E
Body: Weymann H30/26R
Location: Porth, Cymmer Bridge
Date: May-1958

The crew seem to have found an unintended 'lazy' display for the Pontypridd to Porth service which avoided the need to set the blind at all. There don't seem to be any passengers on board so it is unlikely that it has come from further up either valley and will have turned round the toilet block in the middle of the junction here to get to the departure stop for the service.

It looks in good order and would give another three years service. Its disposal details after leaving Frank Cowley are unknown apart from a brief sighting near Whitehaven.
