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.

Services 35A & 36A will be withdrawn with these journeys reverting back to 35 & 36 at the upcoming changes in March.
Of interest is a route change in Dyserth that will see both the 35 & 36 being withdrawn from Dyserth High Street and Trecastell (the current turning point).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

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
