Something which has puzzled me - I was driving along the A465 on Monday morning past Neath when I overtook a white single decker with pale green relief. I paid it no real attention until I spotted at the last second the legend "South Wales Transport" on the rear panel. Since Monday I have been trying to find out what this is all about, then I came across this press release from Neath Port Talbot Borough Council which explains all:
New easy access buses for Neath 13.10.2008 New low floor, easy access buses are proving popular with passengers in Neath. Bus firm South Wales Transport (Neath) Ltd have introduced four new ADL 40 seat vehicles on local bus services in and around the Neath area in addition to the 32 seat bus they took delivery of in May this year. As well as their commercially operated services, the Company are also using the new vehicles on service 161 between Neath and Min Y Awel which is operated under contract for Neath Port Talbot Council. Some of the local services which serve Dwr Y Felin, Cwmtawe and Llangatwg comprehensive schools are also benefitting from the new buses to the delight of pupils. Bev Fowles, MD for the company said: "We are delighted that we have been able to supply modern low-emission buses for the people and particularly the school children of the Neath and Pontardawe areas. "Hopefully the positive experience they gain from travelling in such high quality vehicles will ensure they continue to use public transport as they get older thus reducing their carbon footprint" John Flower, NPT's Head of Transport & Engineering added that the low floor vehicles would be particularly attractive to concessionary bus pass holders and parents with buggies. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Welsh Bus Photographs" group.
