I think this was as a consequence of the withdrawal of most journeys on Service X16 following competition from the re-opened Ebbw Valley railway line. At the time, Aberdare had a number of M- LAX and M- RAX examples in use on Service 172, which had previously lost their dual purpose grey moquette seats in favour of blue 'beachball' moquette bus seats. These were due for withdrawal, and the newer bus seats were therefore exchanged with the dual purpose seats in the R- DHB batch. 20390 went back into service at Cwmbran in September 2009, but because Aberdare only required six Volvos for the five workings on the 172, 20390 was not required to transfer, nor to receive new seats. It has stayed at Cwmbran as a consequence. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Welsh Bus Photographs" group.
