Don't think it's Newport as that's a sawtooth style bus station, think it's in First South Wales territory i'll go at Tenby

It is in First Cymru land. Well, what's left of it.... No one else has nailed it yet either. First gained a few routes in this area at the demise of another operator fairly recently.

I know an operator dipped, but I can't think who or where :(

Cowbridge? (Not even sure it has such a facility...)

The operator was a load of rubbish! Even more so now it has hardly any routes! (subtle clue).

Cowbridge had a sort of bus station behind the town hall. Mainly local services within the Vale operated out of it. I presume it's still there.

Anywhoo, Cowbridge isn't the one.

Not Gorseinon. Still a few places left served by First bar the obvious.

Final clue: this place also has a rail station but isn't that close to the bus station.

Yes, Ammanford it is (just in the nix of time as my break is finishing soon)!

The dart was operated by Rhys & Williams (who had merged years before with West Wales Motors, also of Tycroes). The combined business was bought by Diamond (D) Coaches, who inspired this Dyfed Diamond livery. The business was then sold to SWT who kept the R&W name at Tycroes before the inevitable barbie livery took hold.

And the rubbish operator who withdrew from Ammanford was Veolia who are more associated with waste disposal in Wales these days.

That took some doing :). I was on the wrong track for quite some time, looking to the east of Swansea.

Another one for your perusal

Meadowhall surely ? No-one else has green roofs like that, and that is Sheffield Omnibus livery

Meadowhell is right. I was hoping to cause some confusion by the Bristol VR being in Nottingham Omnibus livery. Didn't work very well :(.

Over to you.
