Whatever impression the timetables give, all T4 journeys north of Merthyr run through without the need to get off the bus. The only time I've ever had to change vehicles was an operational swap of a Scania/Enviro for a Traws-Cambria Volvo in Merthyr.

So hidden that nobody knew he had it! There have been no local reports of it in Pontypridd - perhaps it's been hiding in Ynysybwl.

Probably non-standard (DAFs) or too old ((Volvos).

It is - although it's been with Busman, Congleton in between (Welsh Bus Newsletter).

Why? 1. We don't know what plans (if any) Go South Coast have for the Bournemouth network. They've said more services will be added later. 2. If Wessex have reduced services in Weymouth due to driver shortage, how are they going to resource a service in Bournemouth. 3. Dead mileage and high...

Brynmawr depot also had a For Sale sign outside it when I passed it on 17th June. Meanwhile, fleet movements from recent observation 28725 Cwmbran to Merthyr 28731 Merthyr to Porth 37023/4 Porth to Merthyr 47639 Merthyr to Cwmbran 47820/1 Merthyr to Porth In addition 28737 is at Aberdare -...

It may be familiarity breeding contempt but I'm not sure the 26 is that scenic now that it doesn't go north of Blackwood especially now that it spends an inordinate amount of time faffing around Heath Hospital. The 86X from the hospital to Caerphilly is much more scenic as it goes over...

Accordin to the Stagecoach website, There are service reductions in the Merthyr area from 29th May. The Merthyr - Bargoed corridor goes from 3 buses per hour to 2 with some interesting diversions to cover everything and the former flagship X4 (Abergavenny - Cardiff) is going. The Merthyr -...

5 vehicles out in Pontypridd between 14:30 - 15:30 today - 2 on Ynysybwl,1 on Glyncoch, 1 on Oaklands and 1 on Maesycoed.

Would Oxford or Swindon be any easier? Or London and the Oxford Tube?

853 is recommended. I used it quite a bit in Swanbrook days getting between Oxford and South Wales. You can use it as part of an Oxford- Cheltenham - Swindon - Oxford triangle.

Caerphilly Urban District Council Leyland Titan/Massey now preserved at the Bus Depot, Barry. One of the buses I grew up with

It's horses for courses. I've always had an interest in both and when we lived in Axminster it was much easier to use the train and buy a Devon Day Ranger going west rather than a Stagecoach Explorer and be limited by the service 4 to Exeter. Now I live 15 miles from the nearest station but...

Agreed but at that stage last evening I was driving a Kia Stonic.....

First trip of the year today due to collecting Julie's car after a service. T4. Libanus - Merthyr Tydfil (Stagecoach Volvo/MCV 21359 (BV19 LPO)) Fairly quiet with about 10 people on board. Once I managed to sort out the condensation problem on the glasses, a pleasant run down although the...

Cardiff ones have blood orange rear halves which could appear brown in some lights. The fronts of the ones currently on delivery are green, too.

I think he's posing as the knight in shining armour coming to rescue the good folk of Ynysybwl (where he lives) from their unreliable bus service. Now that Adventure Travel is no longer run by Kevyn it's fair game and I suspect enough people have said to him 'It's about time you got your buses...

They were delivered to Glasgow but may not be for First Glasgow.

There is an unlimited supply of vehicles available for emergency rail replacement at the drop of a hat.

Run it down through and then return via the bypass?
