Subject: Cardiff C.T. 30 (KG 7750) Chassis: AEC Q Body: English Electric H29/29F Location: Preston, Watery Lane Year: 1936
This rear view shows a seating capacity of 58 as indicated above, however all local records seem to show that it was a 56-seater and indeed was ordered as such. There are insufficient interior views to check (it was not unknown for seating capacity to be shown incorrectly).
The lower rear blind shows "via Salisbury Road", a route for which this bus was ordered. This had been a single-deck tram route but the low bridge could just accommodate a double-deck bus. However, it appears to have been used elsewhere, mainly on the 23 to Whitchurch.
