3984 one of the ex-Merseybus examples now resides in the yard at the back of Padgate railway station. It still retains it's Presthaven holiday park livery.

Y706 XJF (4191) is on the 36A today, and CX14 AZJ (4552) is on the 51!

Services 35A & 36A will be withdrawn with these journeys reverting back to 35 & 36 at the upcoming changes in March.
Of interest is a route change in Dyserth that will see both the 35 & 36 being withdrawn from Dyserth High Street and Trecastell (the current turning point). Both services will operate from Waterfall Road into Ffordd y Ffrainc and vice-versa avoiding the village centre on all journeys.

Absolutely bad desicion on arrivas part. Dyserth will now only have a bus stop serving the high street and surgery every 2 hours with p and o lloyd route 19. Good luck to lloyds hopefully more buses will extend to rhyl.

To be honest there is a ongoing problem with oarked cars in the villagae but this is ridiculous

Dyserth High Street has for as long as i have been driving always been a big bottleneck with the parked cars which are in a legally marked area to park in , unfortunately its a case of where do the people park , looking at google maps cant see many other suitable places for cars to park in the general vicinity .

Whilst the parking in Dyserth does cause problems, the fact that the Enviro200's had trouble getting up the hill into Dyserth from a standing start at the traffic lights (resulting in their transfer to Wrexham) may also be a factor. Will they be retimed so that they do not cross in Roundwood? (the reason the 'A' routes were brought in)

This is what i do not understand there is a car park behind the shops. The route will defo need to be retimed maybe 35 separts 00 30 and 36 15 45 per hour. This will also mean a 36 and 51 will not depart at the same time

MPD LJ51 DCZ is on the X51 to Ruthin

Sapphire Enviro400 CX14 AZG (4551) is on the 35A today. It has new adverts on the sides advertising a combined rail and bus ticket around Rhyl. Pics here -

Also saw a MAX Pulsar (CX07 CUH I think, but can't remember which one for sure) heading out of Rhyl towards Llandudno at about half 2 this afternoon, possibly going to replace a Sapphire on the 12 for whatever reason

The new depot was formally opened yesterday. Enviro400 City demonstrator SN66 WLK was present
