I know GLYN Bowen VERY VERY VERY well, He was responsible for giving me my 1st taxi licence. He was licencing officer for Merthyr Council, retired about 6 -7 years ago.
Always at the Merthyr bus show.

Yes'm!!
Has two walled and wallpapered seperate bedrooms, one with 4'6" double bed, and the other with full size pine single bed, kitchen with fullsize fridge freezer and proper gas cooker on lpg, microwave, and all the toys like flat screen tv's and freeview in all rooms!!

And I've got to sell it.............(sob)
That is worth seeing some pics of young man. I remember driving one of them for Martin Howarth. He was a big noise in 60 60, but Gareth always knew who was boss, and it was not Martin.

Gareth Handy of 60-60 coaches ..........
Have you heard of a chap from Troedyrhiw by the name of Glyn Bowen?
Some years back he had a bus in 60-60s depot for spares. I went there and removed the gearbox for a friend's Leyland Tiger Cub. That same gearbox has now been further transplanted into a Stratford Blue Leyland Leopard.
 Tidy bunch of chaps at 60-60 - even gave us a shout for a cuppa :y
I remember when Gareth lived in the GURNOS. As far as I know he still does. All that money, all them coaches and he lived in the Gurnos. It takes all sorts.

I've been reading you posts with interest, not having a go. I posted the links for your entertainment.
The four buses in one picture was taken at the Llandudno steam rally( which one of you mentioned) last year They had some old cars there too, most of which I have owned or wished I'd had!
I wasn't taking the pee, honest Byron!  ;) ;) ;) ;)

Talking of buses and taxi's in Merthyr, wer'nt we?
I think Merthyr has the fastest Taxi in the UK.
1st Call taxi's have a licensed SUBARU IMPREZA for TAXI use, and it is used everyday, in fact my son was just in it, and from where you comee on the Heads of the Valleys at Rocky Road to the bridge going to Pant they were doing 110 mph, MENTAL. SHOULD never have been plated.

Aye, okay Kev, you fell for that wind-up mate ;D

Try looking at this website:

We make a holiday of it, and being a member, I'm a campsite steward at the event.
Easy to get to from The Wirral too!

Go back to the website, and look at 'Accomodation'
Full details there - however - there's a MASSIVE DISCOUNT if a group of ten camping units book-in as a club.
It's our AGM tomorrow evening, and I'll be in a position to confirm further on Wednesday.
It would be great to have a few OOFers there, and I'll make a post very soon.
