Any disappointments? Yes inevitably, but for all the right reasons. More<br />
buses, more routes, and more run-pasts! It was, after all a mini-running<br />
day. My expectations had been amply fulfilled and I was left wanting more.<br />
As that’s all a mini-running day can hope to do, it gives me a very good<br />
reason to pay another visit.<br />
I’d like to thank all those at the Oxford Bus Museum who put on such a<br />
special mini-running day and in particular, thank Chris Butterfield for very<br />
kindly reading this article, solving the occasional mystery and keeping me<br />
on the straight and narrow.<br />

OOPS (5)<br />
A ‘fresh-air’ Atlantean. VKG 329 <strong>of</strong> Western Welsh was based at Cwmbran depot when this<br />
accident happened in July 1966. Cwmbran seemed to have more <strong>of</strong> these incidents than other<br />
depots. Deckers were then quite a new type <strong>of</strong> vehicle to the depot. Many Cwmbran drivers<br />
were from the former Pontnewynydd depot which used single decks only. 329 was repaired in<br />
six months, but was transferred to Bridgend depot<br />
