The main allocations of the YRQs and the YRTs during the mid to late seventies were:
Clarence Terrace, Swansea: 221 & 509 Gorseinon: 222 & 512 Haverfordwest: 219, 224 & 225 Neath: 220, 223, 226, 227, 510 & 511 I recall that one (I believe it was 222) even received white National Express livery in its latter years. Interestingly the body made a re-appearance in the South Wales Transport fleet with the acquisition of the Brewers business in 1988. This brought 10m AEC Reliance LTX 591L, though it did not last long. On 13 Oct, 18:17, "richard field" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > *We had both the YRQ's and YRT's at Neath garage.
