And a low-height 13' 5" model just to add to the variety.
National Welsh received 30 of this type in 1980, numbered LR8001-10 and LR8041-60, with the 'L' designating the lower body style as opposed to 'H' designating the standard 13' 8" model.
The X2 was introduced in the second half of the 1980's. It replaced an existing National Welsh service (red vehicle) along the A48 between Bridgend and Cardiff.
The X1 went from Swansea to Cardiff, linited stop in the early 80's along the A48, operated by Western Welsh. I guess this service moved to the M4 or ended due to increased car ownership and competition from the railway.
Due to the engine efficiencies and ease od entering and exiting the buses, the diuble deckers would trundle through the countryside nearly empty and the single decker Leyland Nationals would be crammrd full in riutes to Penarth and Barry.
