73 is fifteen months old but still looks brand new here. It has just circumnavigated the toilet block in the road junction at Porth, this being the turning point for buses on the Pontypridd to Porth service.

The road lamp visible in the bottom left corner is of a kind that many a student seemed to be determined to possess in the 60s and 70s, but paraffin lamps have now been replaced by LEDs.
