Hi It will be a bit strange to see this at the new bus station in Swansea. Nice to see a open top again on the route to mumbles, since i am too young to remember the last time open buses were operated along this route. I remember trying to photograph this bus in Weymouth back in september 2009 after i had gone down when FGW ran 2 class 37's on what was supssoed to be the final summer saturday loco hauled Bristol - Weymouth service. Hopefully i will have better luck this year trying to photograph this bus, speaking on which does anyone have any reconmedations of the best places to get a photo of this bus on the route between Swansea & Oystermouth? thank you anthony

This marks a return to open-top operations after a 17 year gap. Here it is pictured in June 2010 when still based at Weymouth, operating to Portland Bill.
