Chances are its just on DF and not in Service as Arriva have already said they will enter Service on the 27th
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - N531 DWM - 24/07/2015 10:38
There's definitely 2 of them in service, just seen 2147 DK15 EHB going past my house carrying a full load.

It's possible one or 2 may enter service early look at Chester Depots 10/10A Sapphire
After launch none where meant to go in service for a week but 2 entered service that day on 10's (4640 and 4644 from memory) due to darts failing and stayed out after that day (not including 2 on loan at Rhyl before launch 4637/4638)

2145 (the black sheep of the family)
CX15 BXZ is also out in service.Out of the 3 I've seen so far, this is the only one that has it's rear destinations working.

According to the gov.uk database, both 2145 and 2146 were registered on Wednesday the 15th!
The rest of them do not come up on the database (yet)....
2145 (CX15 BXZ) NEW 15-07-2015, TAX 01-07-2016, 4461ccDIESEL, GREEN.
2146 (DK15 EGZ) NEW 15-07-2015, TAX 01-07-2016, 4461ccDIESEL, GREEN.
Unusual for Arriva to describe them as 'green' when they usually say 'blue' or 'multi-colour'.
Incidentally, BLOTW say these new E20Ds are of B28F configuration.
Anyway, hope this helps!

Penycae's are fully E20D operated today. Rear destination screens are now working.
I saw some standing loads yesterday afternoon and again this morning. Personally I think Arriva have dropped a clanger ordering these 28 seater Enviro200's for Route 3, at peak times they're full when they get to Ponciau. Why didn't they go for the next size up? An extra 4 or 6 seats makes all the difference. The route has gone from full size darts, cadets, spare sapphire deckers and 32 seat solo's to these.. Don't get me wrong, it's great having brand new vehicles on the route, but I think passengers should also have a seat.

Full and standing load on the 15:50 3 from Wrexham now. Nice to see the CCTV screen work but no next stop announcement or wifi

Also in other news J500ABW (4405) was involved in a Serious RTA last night which has caused a huge amount of damage to the front end, the chassis has also been bent and badly damaged but Arriva are determined to get the vehicle fixed a loan vehicle IS to be drafted in from somewhere.
