Two for the Price of One - 1

            A shot that was only possible on a Tuesday, which is Abergavenny Market Day, though can no longer be easily reproduced because of the major works now in place through the Clydach Gorge as part of the latest phase of the A465 Dualling Project.

Stagecoach in South Wales Alexander PS-bodied Volvo B10Ms 20807 and 20815 ended their working lives based at Brynmawr depot.  They would regularly put in appearances on marathon Service X4 in place of an Alexander Dennis Enviro300-bodied MAN and on Tuesdays only Service X74 (Crosskeys-Newbridge-Abertillery-Brynmawr-Abergavenny).  Therefore, if the 1335 X4 journey from Abergavenny to Cardiff was worked by a Volvo on a Tuesday, the 1350 X74 journey from Abergavenny wouldn't be that far behind.  

My luck was in on a Tuesday in September 2012 when 20807 was running about 10 minutes late on the X4 and 20815, working the X74, had caught her up on the long climb through the Clydach Gorge.

Wonderful Machines.
