JLJ48668

Subject: Rhondda Buses 392 (KWO 561X)
Chassis: Leyland Leopard PSU3F/4R
Body: Willowbrook 003 Mk. II C47F
Location: Caerphilly bus station
Date: 17-Oct-1992

A peculiar feature of the Willowbrook-bodied Leopards working for Rhondda Buses was the replacement of the rear window with a solid panel, almost reminiscent of earlier wartime utility bodies. I believe this was probably done as a way of stiffening up the body structure - these bodies hadn't proved particularly robust. 392 is just entering Caerphilly bus station.
