Subject: National Welsh HR8209 (MUH 283X)
Chassis: Leyland Olympian ONLXB/1R
Body: ECW H45/32F
Location: Barry, Broad Street
Date: c.1982

HR8209 is quite new in this view taken across the road from Barry depot where it was based. The Barrivale local identifiers have been moved down to the panel below the driver's side window and the advert on the upper deck side panels (where it was originally located) makes obvious why it was moved.

The bus still has its upper deck front ventilators which were removed in Nov-1982 from the buses allocated to Barry, the Porth ones took a bit longer.
