You don't expect to find a former Aberdare Guy Arab LUF in Grotton, having brought a wedding party up from Reading. It had turned down Station Road by mistake and was turning round at the bottom of Hillside Avenue. This bus was preserved and more recently it has moved to the museum in Barry. The body was by Longwell Green of Bristol and was one of the first in Aberdare's fleet to have upholstered seats. Wooden seats had been favoured due to the number of miners carried, but the advent of pithead baths improved the ability to keep the seats clean.
