A Lost United Welsh Coach turns up in Australia.
 
In 2004 a former United Welsh coach turned up in Perth, Western Australia, having been 'lost' for almost thirty years.

1956-built Bristol LS6G coach NCY 627 was originally numbered 1 in the United Welsh fleet, later being converted for bus use and renumbered 355 when absorbed into the SWT fleet. Now owned by Marie Fennell in Perth, the vehicle is being restored as near as possible to United Welsh condition by John Revill.

NCY 627 at various stages in its UK history.

  1. I used to spend many an afternoon / evening in this bus as a boy when she was still in the Orkney Isles in early 1980s (Tankerness and Evie). Mike & Marie Fennell were great friends of my parents before they made their great overland trip to Australia. Lost contact with them post 1986. Fabulous history and story though.
