Can I just clarify a few details about recent accidents before people start making assumptions, Firstly only one of the new T3 deckers has been involved in accidents (3 of them), two of them were not the drivers fault and involved a third party and the company has sufficient evidence to defend its case which is being pursued by our insurer's. The tragic fatal accident in April in Wrexham was caused to by two cars racing each other around a blind bend which caused the car on the wrong side of the road to have a head on impact with our bus. CCTV and vehicle telematics show that our driver was driving at an appropriate speed for the road and conditions and the driver who was injured in the crash has been told by North Wales Police that he was not to blame and faces no charge, he is only required as a witness. |

(28/07/2015 16:55)DLG817 Wrote: . CN57 EFD looks very smart in the revised livery, the sister vehicle was still in use on the 576 yesterday in Oswestry in Bryn Melyn livery. Is it known if the 501/576 and 96 will retain a regular group of vehicles allocated? I assume the 96 is still been worked of the backend of the 501/576 or is this now operated from Shrewsbury depot along with the 436? Are there plans for the 501 and 576 to be operated from Shrewsbury opposed to Ruabon longer term? Regards Chris |

Hi all, Can posters be careful what they post on threads about operators as we know many of the companies have some form of presence on here and are very mindful of incorrect information being posted. Thanks |

Services not running on the 27 route again today. The 0930 from Macclesfield didn`t run and the driver of the other bus had no idea what had happened. A few passengers suggested a bus failure as that`s normally the reason given when services don`t run on that route. |
