Subject: Crosville ELL319 (TFM 319R)
Chassis: Leyland Leopard PSU3D/4R
Body: Duple Dominant C49F
Location: Merthyr Tydfil, Castle Street
Date: 28–Sep-1985

ELL319 is probably heading for Machynlleth here and just climbing up Castle Street to get to the bus station. In this year the 700 only ran to Rhyl in the peak season and the all year round service stopped only a month later, from 26-Oct-1985, the service continuing just in the summer after that.

This vehicle was an unusual solitary purchase by Crosville and the only PSU3D/4R Leopard in the fleet, but more notable as the first Duple-bodied Leopard.
