669 & 670 were briefly used in St. Helens before going back to Wrexham.

Could well as there are comments on Social Media that ARRIVA are covering the Wrexham Industrial Estate work from today and extra commitments for Dinas Bran in Llangollen, the later was posted online:

As a side note, 4187 Y702 XJF has been parked at Whitehurst near Chirk now for two weeks at the associated yard of A.N. Richards. They typically do MoT work for Wrexham depot and the odd Winsford and Rhyl vehicles.

There were rumours that there were some buses coming from Wrexham, however following the collapse of D Jones & Son I’m guessing this won’t happen now

Don't forget a number of Runcorn Cadet's are still in the pool plus some are on loan to Midlands

Not forgetting there are 50 odd buses in the Pool at the moment of which the majority are serviceable. These range from B7 Geminis, B10BLE Renowns to SB120 Cadets. There are some Mylleniums and Dart MPDs but would think they are fit for service.
