similarities between the vehicles bought by City <strong>of</strong> Oxford and South<br />

Wales Transport. We wondered what had happened to the ex-James <strong>of</strong><br />

Ammanford Atlanteans that had migrated to City <strong>of</strong> Oxford and lasted<br />

there for quite a while. Did any still exist?<br />

We then went our separate ways until we met again on the Regent V’s<br />

second trip. By then, the AEC Reliance had been added to the two<br />

Regents as running vehicles, so at the photo-stop we swapped the Regent<br />

Filming the Regent V’s last departure brought a very enjoyable and<br />

memorable day to an end. The weather had been mostly sunny, if a little<br />

chilly, and as I drove back I wondered whether, given that the day had<br />

attracted some two hundred people to Long Hanborough, it might be an<br />
