This photo shows the plaque referring to the opening of the bus depot taking place in September 1986. However, I believe there has been a bus depot on this site in Sloper Road since the 1920s. The other bus depots were in Clare Road (ST1775) and Newport Road (ST2077) although they have long been closed and the latter one since demolished. The wording on the plaque says: Cardiff Bus Leckwith Depot Opened by JAMES ISAAC C.B.E., F.C.I.T. President Bus & Coach Council 24th September 1986 Incidentally, F.C.I.T. stands for Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Transport, although it is now known as the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. The CILT is the membership organisation for United Kingdom professionals involved in the movement of goods and people, and their associated supply chains.
