I don't exactly think it is carrying fresh air, the Bootle-Aigburth routes are quite busy most of the time, if the weren't they wouldn't have 12 minute frequencies.

0824 V554ECC isnt a heap at all. its Exterior is ruined but it has a tacho and is a very fast vehicle in my mind..i think we need something around the 10.7M Area back for the 3/4/7/8/26/27/32/33 thats why ive told the manager to get the Marshall's from the scrap line there V reg so there no that old really near enough the same age as the V-ECC's (0823/4) or if so get the X-ANC's when theve done their time in Merseyside.

How about some brand new Solo SRs, to the same spec as the North West ones, they would be an ideal size, more seats, but not too long to limit route availability.

I don't know; the full steering lock on the St Helens SRs is truly dreadful. In turning circles which full size vehicles have coped with fine for many years, the SRs really do struggle because of it.

4061 Has arrived at Macclesfield, Swapping for 0877. Problem is, Macclesfield collected it, and 0877 was on the 29B, Meaning that there could be a SR in WX!
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - YN05 WKE - 28/07/2013 20:17
Macclesfield prob went back via winsford and made the official swap

Due to Break Downs on 4407 and 4410 there has been a shortage on route one today, but J999ABW (2799) was covering for one break down and for the first time in a long time LJ51DDE 0920 operated the second Spare vehicle and it was like old times

Realistically it would have made sense to have another converted Decker as a spare as 2799 as the spare, spare! There always seems to be one of the Deckers off the road at the moment.
It does show the lack of larger capacity buses at Wrexham can help undo all the investment.

From what i heard is ADL are doing work on the engines to make them more reliable when in service so that they make the route reliable.
