40 years ago

[Andrew Mann]

Today marks the 40th anniversary of Western Welsh Omnibus Co Ltd being renamed National Welsh Omnibus Services Ltd.

 

Red & White’s assets were transferred to Western Welsh on 1st January 1978, and from that date all road service licences were in WW’s name. The vehicles retained R&W licences until WW’s renaming when the remaining R&W vehicles were relicensed to NWOS. ( I think the info is correct!)

 

The attached was taken at Cwmbran depot in June 1980, and the vehicles are;

 

JKG474F (HR5967) Daimler CRG6LX/MCCW H42/33F one of 15 acquired from Cardiff Corporation in 1979/80.

 

12AAX Bristol FL6G/ECW H37/33RD originally Red & White L1260 but now T7 in the driver training fleet.

 

BKG722C (L6565) AEC Renown/NCME H38/29F originally Western Welsh 722

 

PKG376H (LR5969) Leyland PDR1/3/NCME H42/31F originally Western Welsh 376, passing to South Wales Transport 3/72 and returning to NWOS 4/79.

 

Hope of interest.

 

Regards,

 

Andrew
