I'll be honest, I was on the 10 the other week going through Connahs Quay and I was surprised at some of the roads they went down. Quite small roads to have big buses running so regular.

Shame about the loss of service for those who use it but totally understand the reasons in this instance.

2500 is currently at Chester in a very withdrawn state i'd say. Front end totally knackered.

Could that mean a new engine for 2555 if it needs one

So that and 2701/8251 are the only Withdrawn vehicles left in the Chester Depot as I passed it on 2656 earlier today and it was bare empty.

When I did pass by the Depot, i did see a Cadet on the back wall and it looked like 2551 to me, not sure why it hasn't been out.

I feel like I could be wrong but with 2555 not looking like it's moved into the pits to get fixed following it's fault 4 months ago, does it look like it could be on the way out and get Withdrawn from service? 2551 possibly as well?

I’ve been wondering that too

Not to sure what happened but it seemed that yesterday afternoon one of Arriva's Cadet's (I think it was) was involved in an incident in Ellesmere Port meaning for a while no services were able to use the new Bus Hub.
