First one noted at Rhyl was 4555 which was on the 51.

A few from the start of the day below, rest to follow over the course of the evening...

A great investment by Arriva into route 12.

HTH

Having to use one for the am and pm journey of the 51S at the moment for the school. It will normally be a Gemini however we have one off for MOT. Great shots.

The issue is the amount of children that catch the 51S, with no other double deckers available at Rhyl at the moment one of the spare sapphires had to be used for the morning and afternoon journey.

We carry two spare sapphires, 4554 & 4555, why would we have a refurbished bus as a spare!

Yeah, it spent more time over the pit than on the road while we had it.
