An archive of views taken in the pre-NBC era, including more recently preserved examples restored to historic liveries. This album also includes the vehicles of N & C Luxury Coaches, Thomas Bros. (Port Talbot) Ltd., United Welsh Services Ltd. and Western Welsh which became part of the enlarged SWT fleet between 1969 and 1971.

<DIV ALIGN=left>The Willowbrook bodied examples, having spent their early years in Swansea were later transferred en bloc to Llanelli. At around the same time they each lost their cream waistbands and saw out their days in overall red, 496 and 498 lasting until 1974 as driver training buses. The pair were last seen on the scrap line at Neath, eventually being towed to Yorkshire for breaking.
