Thanks for that. If you could share your list that would be brilliant

No worries, parked in a line from LR:
917, 844, 915*, 847, 912, 846*, 911*

* denotes missing bits visable i.e. headlights

It's been reported on Facebook that 849 has left Chester and is now back at Wrexham. Wonder if it's for service or storage?

Storage seems the most likely but you never know!

849 hadn't arrived into the yard by late morning on the Sunday. Probably for instant store in compound sadly.

I've been informed 849 is not in Wrexham, was spotted in Service in Chester on Saturday.

All the SRs have no intention on moving depots and wont, our depot likes them and so do the passengers actually, hence why we sent other vehicles to Bangor when 711 was the odd one out here and we have now gained 701/705 they're going no where.

The swap with 711 and 695 was due to Solo SRs been unsuitable for one of the routes at Bangor.

I dont quite see how thought considering 695 is only 0.1M shorted than 711
