Delivered the previous month, HR1677 was taxed from 1st August to get the new S-suffix registration and is seen here just a few days later at Glyntaff, with the Taff-Ely depot just visible above it.
The near side fleet name has been applied incorrectly - it should be vertically aligned with the centre of NBC logo. HR1677 and HR1777 both carried fleet names like this, on both sides.
