This Marshall bodied Dennis Dart with Carlyle style bodywork was delivered new to Julian Peddle's Rhondda Buses as their 59 (P59VTG). The Rhondda and Caerphilly operations of the striken National Welsh were salvaged by Julian in an early collaborative venture with Tellings Golden Miller. After a few years these operations were sold on to Stagecoach, which by then had acquired the Red & White division of National Welsh, which had been rescued by Western Holdings, itself acquired by Stagecoach. In this view the Dart had been repainted in the new Stagecoach livery, but was awaiting fleet insignia. It is seen at the Cardiff Centenary Rally bearing pre-Stagecoach national renumbering fleet number 559. |
Stagecoach Red & White 604 (R604SWO) is seen at Showbus having been transferred from South Wales to local operator Viscount with fleet number 342. The bus is an Alexander ALX200 bodied Dart SLF. |
At SHOWBUS 2002 Stagecoach Express 905 is a Volvo B10M/Plaxton Premiere in the South Wales fleet, but was actually new to Stagecoach Glasgow as their 117 (R117OPS). |
