Subject: Tellings-Golden Miller 2113 (F113 YWO) Chassis: MCW Metrorider MF150/103 Body: MCW DP23F Location: Pontypridd, Bridge Street Date: 12-Feb-1992
A superb shot from John here, with the limited depth of field making the bus stand out from the background. 2113 turns from Bridge Street into Taff Street with the blind already set for its return to Caerphilly.
This photograph well illustrates the complexity of the situation at the time. I believe the C19 was then worked by both Porth and Bedwas depots, although it is difficult to be certain. The two depots were acquired from National Welsh just over a week apart and this is between the two dates and actually on the day that Rhondda Buses agreed to buy the Bedwas depot.
The consequence is that this could be either a National Welsh bus or a Tellings-Golden Miller one, depending on which depot it was working from!
