In its day this was every bit as futuristic as a starship. This is a modern working replica of Walter Hancock's steam omnibus of 1833 - Enterprise. I had a ride round the centre of Merthyr and with its tiller steering it was an interesting experience. Takes a brave driver to mix it with modern traffic in this beastie.
