This distinguished 41 seater AEC Reliance coach with Harrington Cavalier body, affectionately nicknamed "Brown Bomber", was new to Neath & Cardiff coaches in July 1960. At the very end of 1970 it transferrred to Western Welsh. During the 1990s it was operated by Classic Coaches of High Wycombe before being acquired by us. It has received a major overhaul during the past 12 months and is once again available for event hire.

This 56 seater Bristol KSW with Eastern Coachworks body was new to Eastern National of Essex in 1953. It was converted to open top in 1965 and used in Southend until damaged in an accident in 1974. It was subsequently bought by South Wales Transport, repaired using parts from another bus and then used on the new Limeslade service in 1975. This vehicle is extremely popular with wedding parties.

This 39-seater Bristol MW with Eastern Coachworks body was new to Red & White of Chepstow in 1958 and based in Cardiff. After seeing service in Cheltenham, Aberdare, Tredegar and Newport, it became the National Travel Office at the Severn Bridge Services in 1972. It was rescued from a scrapyard and restored using parts from two similar vehicles (SWO 983/4) which were also present at the site. It is now preserved along with the original period seating.

This relatively modern 57-seater Volvo was new to Morris Bros of Swansea in June 1981 and was a local contributor to the British Coachways fleet. British Coachways was a short-lived attempt to challenge the might of National Express. The company lasted just over two years, ceasing operations on October 18th 1982. This comfortable and rapid coach has been carefully restored to its original condition by the museum and provides a striking presence at events.
