hiya,
Hello and welcome Terry there is a thread on here entitled simply “British Road Services” by our good friend Frenchy it has grown to 60 odd pages you’ll be sure to find something of interest to you also where you can post this enquiry it may have something about the Cardiff depot which as a former “red and ruster” have visited for fuel, return loads and a sub on the old OPS 6 on many occasions, i was at North West’s Blackburn BRS depot twice in the 60s and after moving to the North East in the 70s got a start at Consett BRS depot until i’ts closure, i’m a fan of the Seddon 32/4 and drove one on many occasions.
thanks harry long retired.
