Making Hay while the Winter Sun Shines - 1

            Six elegant Wright Renown-bodied Volvo B10BLEs that Stagecoach acquired with First's Wigan operations in December 2012 (21174, 21176, 21178, 21179, 21180 and 21187) made their way to the South Wales fleet the following Spring.  Four were allocated to Merthyr Tydfil depot from Summer 2013 for use at Brecon outstation as replacements for Alexander PS-bodied Volvo B10Ms 20385, 20387, 20388 and 20389 on Services 39B/39 (Brecon-Talgarth-Hay-on-Wye-Hereford).

Their tenure was sadly only brief and they were replaced on the service in January 2015 by four of the remaining 12.8m Alexander Dennis Enviro300-bodied MANs reconfigured with Cummins units.

In her last couple of months in service, 21176 was making her way along Oxford Road in Hay-on-Wye heading for Hereford in November 2014.

21174, 21176, 21178 and 21179 were sold for scrap in Autumn 2015, 21180 was donated to a college in Wolverhampton, whilst 21187 was purchased by Newtons of Crumlin.
