Cardiff Bus 456 (A968 YSX) in Cardiff – 26 Feb 2001

Monday 26 February 2001 (approx. 1550) - Cardiff Bus/Bws Caerdydd 456 (A968 YSX) seen in Cardiff Bus Station. It is an Alexander bodied Volvo/Ailsa B55-10 which had been new to W Alexander (Fife) Limited (FRA68) in March 1984. The engine on this model was located at the front thus requiring the driver’s cab to have its own entrance door which is visible in this photograph. Cardiff operated around 59 of this chassis type from new and this bus was one of small a number acquired secondhand from Fife Scottish (as Alexander Fife had become) in the late 1990s.
