brings back lots of memories of a poppy red alder valley bristol re going from marlow to maidenhead on the a308 up bisham hill. 40 years ago .

Remember that the Red of Thames Valley Traction, was a very special Red, slightly paler than any other companies buses :-) Me being a Windsorian, and all that, I can remember the Awesome Bristol Lodekka 6G FLF, on my home run back in the day, Route 20, Windsor, to High Wycombe. Going back even further, Windsor, to Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire :-) do you have a brother called Peter Kirby, ex Trevelyan Secondary School?

Aberdare bus used to travel on them regularly my uncle was a driver for Merthyr Tydfil transport

Great video and sounds, nothing like a bit of 0.680 RE thrash. One question - why no route # on the destination blind?

[@andrewbutler6477]

This old girl was a cynon valley re they never used route numbers along with Merthyr some of these lasted 25 years in service in the valleys
