Alan - wasn't this new to Phillipstown as opposed to Caerphilly?  Think it
was after the closure of the Pengam out-station and the work from there
moved to the newly enlarged Phillipstown depot.  Happy to be corrected of
course!

 

Regards.

 

Gareth.

Delivered new to Caerphilly depot .It was one of my regular buses on the 1
service from Newport to Merthyr.

Very sluggish buses and  prone to windscreen leaks.

Stagecoach Services 1, 2 and 3 (Merthyr Tydfil-Rhymney-Bargoed) are operated
from Merthyr depot, mostly by a group of long Alexander ALX200-bodied Darts,
whose numbers are now diminishing.

 

33601 is one of a trio new to the South Wales fleet, and which transferred
to Cheltenham & Gloucester in 2000, only to return to South Wales a couple
of years ago.

 

This is seen in Pontlottyn Square heading south on Service 1, via Fochriw
and Deri, in April 2011.
