As UC1198 this coach had been one to receive the special TrawsCambria livery from new. However in 1986, about the same time as it was renumbered UC198, it received this special livery sponsored by BBC Wales to publicise Bilidowcar, a Welsh children's TV programme equivalent to Blue Peter.

The second advertising livery to be applied to a vehicle working this service, it also had the same objective of gaining exposure to as much of the country as possible.

In later life, by then re-registered AAX 450A, this would join the Red & White fleet as 898.
