Subject: Western Welsh 352 (352 ABO)
Chassis: Leyland Atlantean PDR1/1
Body: Weymann L37/33F
Location: Porth depot
Date: 14-Sep-1973

Atlantean 352 is seen in a bustling depot yard, its crew quite possibly in the canteen prior to departure time. Several of these Atlanteans worked from Porth for a while.

The Atlanteans 348-366 were originally to have been registered XUH 348-366, following on from 332-347 in the same registration series but instead were given 348-366 ABO. There was about ten months between the delivery of the two batches and 348-366 were on Atlantean Mark II chassis which involved some technical improvements following service experience.

This is one of several of the type that lost their ventilators on the upper deck front windows.
