Subject: Silcox, Pembroke Dock 57 (LTG 268)
Chassis: Leyland Royal Tiger PSU1/15
Body: Leyland B45C
Location: Tenby, Upper Park Road
Date: mid-1960s

After Rhondda withdrew coach 327 in 1960 it was sold to Silcox in June 1961. They soon replaced the 41 coach seats with 45 bus seats and kept it until 1969. Behind it is 21 (LDE 850), a rare Bristol K6G with equally-unusual Barnard lowbridge body work featuring distinctive upper-deck ventilators.

The service to Narberth and Whitland was acquired with the business of Morrison of Tenby and reached the furthest west of any Silcox stage carriage services. Silcox numbered it 9 (but rarely displayed route numbers) which covered three routes. Tenby to Whitland either via Narberth or Tavernspite along with Tenby to Amroth.
