-..for the first stop.

0:01:410:01:42

-We're in Gwauncaegurwen,

0:01:480:01:52

-..down to Cross Hands, Carmarthen...

0:01:520:01:55

-Filling four buses

-each year for eight years...

0:02:030:02:06

-..shows you're doing

-something right.

0:02:060:02:09

-To get to that concert,

-Tudur must keep to a timetable.

0:02:090:02:14

-Mrs Slaymaker and her friends

-await in Brynaman.

0:02:150:02:19

-Good morning.

0:02:200:02:21

-Don't look so worried.

0:02:210:02:23

-Are you OK?

0:02:230:02:24

-The rain

-isn't getting this lot down.

0:02:370:02:40

-We're the carers,

-they're from the care home.

0:02:400:02:44

-Clive is very entertaining,

-I must say.

0:02:460:02:49

-We heard about this trip

-when we were in York.

0:02:490:02:52

-One of Clive's drivers

-was with us in York.

0:02:530:02:56

-He told us about the trip,

-so we came last year.

0:02:560:02:59

-We had a whale of a time.

0:02:590:03:01

-It's the second time now.

0:03:010:03:03

-Who knows if we'll make the triple!

0:03:030:03:06

-We're widows.

0:03:100:03:12

-We're what's termed merry widows.

0:03:130:03:15

-This group from Brynaman grew up

-with Dafydd Iwan and Roy Noble.

0:03:190:03:24

-They've got a good standing.

0:03:240:03:27

-Us two were in school

-with Huw Ceredig.

0:03:270:03:31

-That says a lot.

0:03:310:03:32

-Oh, does it now?

0:03:330:03:35

-Are you enjoying yourselves?

0:03:390:03:42

-Very good.

0:03:420:03:43

-At the Richards Bros depot,

-Nigel is organizing a special bus.

0:03:510:03:56

-I have a wedding in Fishguard.

0:03:570:03:59

-The daughter

-of one of our drivers...

0:03:590:04:02

-..is getting married in Croes-goch.

0:04:020:04:05

-The wagon's going out

-for a ride today.

0:04:050:04:09

-This was bought new in 1950.

0:04:090:04:12

-It was idle for years,

-then we decided to restore it.

0:04:120:04:16

-We had a few of these.

-I regret not keeping some of them.

0:04:170:04:21

-But we were glad to get rid of them

-for something new back then.

0:04:210:04:25

-No-one else will to drive it

-because it's not easy.

0:04:250:04:29

-Changing gears can be hard at times.

0:04:290:04:33

-It's hit and miss!

0:04:330:04:34

-It had better not be

-hit or miss today.

0:04:350:04:38

-The bride and her family will be

-in trouble if they don't make it.

0:04:390:04:43

-Off he goes, and thankfully,

-the gears sound fine.

0:04:450:04:49

-But after reaching Fishguard.

-there's confusion about the bride.

0:04:530:04:57

-Are you taking the bride?

0:04:580:04:59

-You're taking the bride.

0:05:000:05:01

-I'm taking the guests

-and the bridesmaids, I suppose.

0:05:020:05:06

-Thank heavens that's been sorted.

0:05:060:05:09

-Caernarfon-bound Tudur

-also has things to sort.

0:05:090:05:13

-I'm not familiar with this area.

0:05:130:05:16

-I've been to Gwauncaegurwen

-and Ammanford...

0:05:160:05:19

-..but I've never been on this road.

0:05:190:05:22

-When they told me

-to pick people up...

0:05:220:05:24

-..opposite Pen-y-groes Concrete,

-I thought, blimey.

0:05:240:05:28

-The bus is filling up

-as the last passengers get on...

0:05:280:05:32

-..before they head north.

0:05:320:05:34

-Are you OK?

0:05:360:05:37

-I'll see you later.

0:05:370:05:39

-How many of you are there?

0:05:390:05:41

-Everyone's here, including

-Taf Valley regulars Ken and Betty.

0:05:430:05:48

-Scotland, Ireland.

0:05:510:05:52

-The Lake District.

0:05:540:05:55

-The Lake District.

-

-The Lake District.

0:05:550:05:56

-I can't remember everywhere.

0:05:570:05:59

-The Hampton Court Flower Show.

0:06:000:06:02

-Marvellous trips, every one.

0:06:030:06:05

-Do you want some music?

0:06:060:06:08

-A chap called Clive?

0:06:100:06:11

-# Happily beside the waters

0:06:160:06:19

-# And this is what cheers my note

0:06:200:06:24

-# Jesus is a saviour to me

0:06:240:06:28

-# Jesus is a saviour to me

0:06:280:06:32

-# Jesus is a saviour to me

0:06:320:06:37

-# I sing, I sing while contemplating

0:06:370:06:42

-# That Jesus is a saviour to me #

0:06:420:06:47

-You're like angels, fair play!

0:06:470:06:50

-Keep going! You make him sound good!

0:06:500:06:53

-While Jesus is a saviour

-to the angels on Tudur's bus...

0:06:550:06:59

-..it's a bit different

-on Hubert's bus.

0:07:000:07:02

-I've got CDs, but not Clive's CD.

0:07:020:07:06

-I hear enough of him on the yard.

0:07:060:07:08

-Come on, Hubert,

-don't be so miserable.

0:07:080:07:12

-Another regular on the trip

-is Peter Giles from Carmarthen.

0:07:140:07:18

-He's very familiar with buses.

0:07:190:07:21

-I used to drive buses in London.

0:07:210:07:24

-What a shock that was.

0:07:240:07:26

-I never thought

-I'd see so many people.

0:07:260:07:29

-Double-deckers, 57 seaters.

0:07:300:07:32

-No-one talked to you.

0:07:330:07:35

-They'd shout and argue.

0:07:350:07:37

-No thank yous, like Welsh people.

0:07:370:07:39

-Nobody helping Mrs Jones

-to carry her bag.

0:07:390:07:42

-I did that for 18 years.

0:07:430:07:46

-I had an accident,

-came home and retired.

0:07:460:07:49

-Now, I can enjoy Hubert

-doing the job instead of me!

0:07:500:07:53

-And a good job he's doing as well.

0:07:540:07:56

-Everyone's relaxing

-as they head north.

0:07:570:08:00

-In Fishguard,

-Nigel can also relax...

0:08:000:08:02

-..now that he knows

-who he's carrying to the wedding.

0:08:030:08:07

-How are you?

0:08:070:08:08

-I haven't been on a bus in 50 years!

0:08:090:08:10

-I haven't been on a bus in 50 years!

-

-The bus is 50 years old!

0:08:100:08:13

-And there's more mileage left in it.

0:08:140:08:16

-Lovely! I feel like the Queen!

0:08:170:08:21

-Hm, I've never seen the Queen

-on a bus, but everyone's happy.

0:08:220:08:27

-The bus is lovely.

0:08:270:08:28

-And we have a wonderful driver too!

0:08:280:08:29

-And we have a wonderful driver too!

-

-This is practice for you!

0:08:290:08:31

-At last, the bride is ready.

0:08:330:08:35

-Her father usually drives the bus,

-but what would he rather do today?

0:08:350:08:40

-I'd like to drive it!

0:08:400:08:42

-I'd like to drive it!

-

-Rather than making a speech!

0:08:420:08:45

-Driving beats making a speech.

0:08:450:08:48

-Let's do it.

0:08:480:08:49

-Royalty now!

0:08:560:08:57

-Royalty now!

-

-It's a long day for them.

0:08:570:08:59

-It's one of the perks,

-driving these girls.

0:08:590:09:03

-Keep your eye on the road, Nigel!

0:09:070:09:10

-Croes-goch chapel, here they come.

0:09:100:09:14

-Everyone's there in good time.

0:09:150:09:18

-There were no pubs

-between here and Fishguard.

0:09:220:09:25

-You'd better pick me up.

0:09:250:09:27

-Oh, good God,

-I thought I'd lost my hat!

0:09:270:09:30

-The nerves are kicking in a bit!

0:09:380:09:40

-What about you, Geraint?

0:09:400:09:41

-What about you, Geraint?

-

-I'm fine.

0:09:410:09:42

-Better than I expected.

0:09:420:09:44

-I expected tears, but we're OK.

0:09:440:09:46

-It's early yet!

0:09:460:09:48

-I'll be fine

-once the speeches are over.

0:09:510:09:53

-Job done, and everyone's ready

-for a special day.

0:09:550:09:58

-On the wet roads of the north...

0:10:000:10:03

-..the Taf Valley buses

-are almost in Caernarfon...

0:10:030:10:06

-..for another special night.

0:10:070:10:09

-Hubert knows this trip well.

0:10:090:10:12

-Clive started it

-maybe five or six years ago.

0:10:120:10:15

-It started off with two coaches,

-then three, and now it's four.

0:10:150:10:20

-Not far off 200 passengers.

0:10:200:10:22

-We go back on Sunday...

0:10:240:10:26

-..and by Monday, we'll have filled

-one or two buses for next year.

0:10:260:10:32

-They book from year to year.

0:10:320:10:35

-At long last,

-they're at the Celtic Royal Hotel.

0:10:350:10:38

-Despite the long trip, the Brynaman

-ladies are still in fine form.

0:10:390:10:43

-Pretty good, tired.

0:10:430:10:45

-We've been on the bus since 8.30am.

0:10:460:10:50

-She's hated every minute, poor dab.

0:10:500:10:53

-Tired!

0:10:530:10:54

-I'm older than you.

0:10:540:10:56

-A nap? No, we're off to the Jacuzzi.

0:10:570:11:00

-I've forgotten my bathing suit!

0:11:010:11:02

-I've forgotten my bathing suit!

-

-It doesn't matter! Don't worry.

0:11:020:11:05

-We'll see you later.

0:11:060:11:08

-Yes, we're here safe and sound.

0:11:120:11:15

-The lights were red

-at all the roadworks.

0:11:150:11:18

-We'd lose two or three minutes then,

-but we're here.

0:11:180:11:23

-Yes, we're here.

0:11:230:11:25

-In one piece.

0:11:260:11:27

-I'll park the bus and clean it.

0:11:280:11:30

-Then I might have a quick one,

-but don't tell the boss.

-Location of Taf Valley Coaches

-owner Clive Edwards' annual concert.

0:11:590:12:04

-While everyone else relaxes,

-Clive is getting things ready.

0:12:040:12:08

-I was first here,

-so I had to set things up.

0:12:080:12:12

-One speaker wasn't working,

-and I started to have kittens.

0:12:120:12:16

-But I swapped leads

-and everything's ready.

0:12:160:12:19

-They'll have supper here.

0:12:200:12:22

-Two coachloads come in at 6.30pm,

-the other two at seven.

0:12:220:12:26

-But I can guarantee

-some of the seven o'clock lot...

0:12:260:12:30

-..will be by the door at half six,

-peeping and ready to come in.

0:12:310:12:35

-Here they are, 200 people to be fed,

-entertained and kept happy.

0:12:380:12:44

-Quite a challenge,

-but it's about to start.

0:12:440:12:47

-The Welsh Whisperer,

-Jonathan Davies and Y Tri Digri.

0:12:480:12:53

-I know they'll be spot on.

0:12:530:12:56

-I don't have to worry.

0:12:560:12:58

-They'll be in tears of laughter.

0:12:580:13:01

-The soup's out.

0:13:020:13:03

-I'll have some soup now

-and I'll be fine.

0:13:030:13:06

-I don't need much food.

0:13:060:13:09

-The merry widows from Brynaman

-seem a bit quiet.

0:13:110:13:15

-Their tipple

-seems to be a cup of tea.

0:13:150:13:19

-Surely not?

0:13:200:13:22

-And what's in the bag!

0:13:220:13:24

-Grand, and we had a chance

-to use the pool and the Jacuzzi.

0:13:260:13:31

-Good company, it's great.

0:13:310:13:33

-The widows aren't the only ones

-having a good time.

0:13:350:13:38

-Tudur and Hubert are relaxing too.

0:13:390:13:41

-Tudur and Hubert are relaxing too.

-

-You don't relax.

0:13:410:13:42

-You're just not driving.

0:13:430:13:45

-That's how it is.

0:13:450:13:47

-While Clive's eating,

-what's he like as a boss?

0:13:480:13:51

-You can answer that.

0:13:520:13:53

-Speak your mind. Now's your chance!

0:13:570:13:59

-Yes, he's not bad.

0:13:590:14:00

-He has his off days, like everyone.

0:14:010:14:03

-But I've been there long enough...

0:14:030:14:05

-..to know how far to push him

-and vice versa.

0:14:050:14:08

-Some days, he comes in.

0:14:080:14:10

-"What's wrong with you today?"

0:14:100:14:13

-You are a bit tetchy some mornings.

0:14:130:14:16

-That's why he asks.

0:14:160:14:17

-He never asks me.

0:14:170:14:19

-He is tetchy some mornings,

-but I don't get that trouble.

0:14:200:14:24

-I'm always like an angel.

0:14:240:14:26

-Yes, Tudur, if you say so.

0:14:260:14:28

-The party in Caernarfon

-is in full swing.

0:14:290:14:31

-Another party's being arranged

-at Midway Motors in Crymych.

0:14:330:14:37

-This year is a milestone for

-the business, so it's some party.

0:14:380:14:42

-Sixty years in business

-is something to celebrate.

0:14:440:14:47

-Not so much for us...

0:14:480:14:50

-..but for the founders,

-Wyndham, and his father, Stanley.

0:14:510:14:55

-I hope they're looking down

-and smiling.

0:14:550:14:58

-We hope that the company

-is moving on in the right way.

0:14:580:15:03

-Nothing's easy nowadays, but I hope

-we're going the right way.

0:15:030:15:06

-We all know what we're doing, Shon

-in the office, Iwan with the buses.

0:15:070:15:12

-I'm in the body shop

-and we all get on with our jobs.

0:15:130:15:16

-Any problems, they come to me.

0:15:160:15:19

-I try my best to help them,

-and I hope it goes on like that.

0:15:190:15:24

-I have three sons and Sara,

-a daughter, and grandchildren.

0:15:240:15:28

-I hope Midway Motors will last

-another 60 years and more.

0:15:290:15:32

-It won't worry me!

0:15:330:15:34

-It won't worry me!

-

-We'll have planes by then!

0:15:340:15:36

-But before the planes arrive,

-something else has landed.

0:15:380:15:42

-Now then, do you like it?

0:15:540:15:57

-It's beautiful.

0:15:570:15:58

-Did it come back OK?

0:16:000:16:01

-Did it come back OK?

-

-Yes, not one misfire.

0:16:010:16:03

-I should hope not!

0:16:030:16:05

-Go to the back.

0:16:050:16:06

-Go to see it.

0:16:060:16:07

-Look at the legroom.

0:16:080:16:10

-The legroom makes it.

0:16:100:16:11

-There's a table to have tea.

0:16:140:16:16

-We thought a lot about what we'd do.

0:16:180:16:21

-A new bus is a good way

-to celebrate 60 years.

0:16:220:16:25

-That doesn't happen every day.

0:16:250:16:28

-I'm chuffed to bits. It's lovely.

0:16:280:16:30

-Great.

0:16:310:16:32

-We decided to get a local touch

-to the decals on the side.

0:16:320:16:37

-It's the local area that has kept

-the business going for 60 years.

0:16:380:16:42

-It's nice to mark that

-by giving something back.

0:16:420:16:45

-When we travel across Europe...

0:16:450:16:49

-..we'll take

-a piece of home with us.

0:16:500:16:53

-It's ready for the first trip, Mam.

0:16:530:16:55

-It's ready for the first trip, Mam.

-

-Yes, good. The wheels need to turn.

0:16:550:16:58

-Back in Caernarfon, Clive

-starts the evening with a joke.

0:17:050:17:08

-Two men were talking.

0:17:090:17:10

-One of them

-kept repeating an old saying.

0:17:110:17:14

-"Well, it could be worse."

0:17:150:17:17

-His mate came over and said...

0:17:180:17:22

-.."You'll never believe it.

0:17:230:17:25

-"I came home early

-from work last night...

0:17:250:17:28

-"..and I caught the wife in bed...

0:17:290:17:32

-"..with the bloke from next door."

0:17:330:17:37

-And his friend said,

-"Well, it could be worse."

0:17:370:17:42

-He said,

-"How could it be worse?"

0:17:440:17:48

-"If you'd come home early

-the night before, I was with her!"

0:17:480:17:52

-Go on then, Clive.

0:17:560:17:58

-# I'll sing a song about Wales

0:17:590:18:04

-# Its pretty valleys

-and its pure fresh air #

0:18:040:18:09

-I've been driving all day.

0:18:090:18:12

-What have you been doing?

0:18:130:18:15

-Sitting on your backsides on a bus!

0:18:150:18:18

-No, a coach!

0:18:180:18:19

-There's a difference

-between a bus and a coach!

0:18:240:18:27

-A bus has a ticket machine,

-a coach has me!

0:18:270:18:31

-# Ffoshelig, Jones of Login,

-Midway Motors, good buses

0:18:350:18:41

-# But second,

-without the Cwm-miles Elvis

0:18:410:18:46

-Ah-ha-ha!

0:18:460:18:47

-# I want to sing

0:18:480:18:49

-# On the ferry

0:18:500:18:51

-# Golden beer in buckets

0:18:510:18:55

-# In summer

-with the Taf Valley girls #

0:18:550:18:59

-Where are you, ladies?

0:18:590:19:00

-# I am a quarryman

0:19:020:19:06

-# And this is my wish

0:19:070:19:10

-# That I may once again #

0:19:110:19:15

-# See the sun #

0:19:150:19:18

-While tenor Jonathan Davies wows the

-audience, there's a drama backstage.

0:19:190:19:25

-Clive and his wife, Nia,

-prepare for a brand-new routine.

0:19:250:19:29

-Come on!

0:19:290:19:30

-Behave now, Clive.

0:19:380:19:40

-Arms. Straps to hold it up!

0:19:410:19:44

-The navel's fine.

0:19:450:19:47

-The navel's fine.

-

-Hold that belly in.

0:19:470:19:48

-Nearly there.

0:19:510:19:53

-Ooh, nice.

0:19:560:19:58

-Whoa, it's back to front!

0:19:590:20:01

-Oh dear!

0:20:010:20:02

-OK.

0:20:030:20:04

-I don't know what to say.

0:20:070:20:09

-And he's ready,

-or should that be she's ready?

0:20:100:20:14

-Now, before the break,

-do you want to see that old lady?

0:20:170:20:23

-Fantastic!

0:20:420:20:43

-Special.

0:20:440:20:45

-Yes.

0:20:460:20:47

-It's a tonic.

0:20:470:20:48

-We're here to have fun,

-and we're having fun.

0:20:550:20:59

-Yes, fantastic.

0:20:590:21:02

-Everyone's having fun so far...

0:21:070:21:09

-..and Clive has saved

-the best 'til last.

0:21:090:21:13

-We hadn't meant to do this tonight,

-but we've had a special request.

0:21:190:21:24

-We're one man short, I think.

0:21:250:21:28

-Could you give him a warm welcome?

0:21:280:21:32

-Are you ready?

0:21:400:21:41

-Go for it!

0:21:440:21:45

-# Bing bong, bing bong bay

0:21:450:21:47

0:21:490:21:51

-Faster!

0:22:080:22:16

-Next time on the buses...

0:22:230:22:25

-Richards Bros are starting

-to wind down for Christmas...

0:22:270:22:31

-..and cleaning a bit

-ready for the new year.

0:22:320:22:34

-This is the latest addition

-to the fleet, a cherry picker.

0:22:350:22:39

-Shon Midway has prepared a grotto

0:22:390:22:45

-I've celebrated Christmas

-six times this year already...

0:22:460:22:50

-..so by Christmas Day,

-I'm well-rehearsed and ready.

0:22:500:22:54

-And Clive Edwards

-is up to his tricks once again.

0:22:540:22:59

-You're not meant to be here!

-Get out! I've told you twice!

0:22:590:23:03

-Get out of this hotel!

0:23:040:23:05

-Come for a spin on the buses.
