So effectively pool vehicles are like an emergency fleet

Probably there for storage ready for scrap not pool because remember a ton of Marshall's ended up at Chester if anyone remembers my photo and look what happened to them, Chester and Wrexham are and always have been the final destination for most withdrawn fleet vehicles to store before going to scrap!

Can anyone confirm if 849 has been withdrawn? I've seen a few Facebook and Flickr posts saying that it may have been.

It was on a back of a lorry a couple of weeks ago thinking it may be on its way to be scrapped, but on Saturday (29/4) it was out on service 12.

I am told 672, 673, 674, 675, 699 are coming from Chester to Bangor though that could be wrong.

2480 - 2484 are meant to be moving to Chester from Bangor for the 3, 4 and X4.

Anyone know how allocations will work being that DBs need solos or MPDs (we have only 2 and DBs PVR is 3)... 12 can use cadets but a solo is the better option due to the passenger numbers.
The Cadets as I said are reported for the 3, 4 and X4. That means spare pulsars... Where route are they going to do?

They say that about the twelve but at the end of the day anything can do the route considering a Commander, Versa, B10BLE and Pulsar have all done the 12, its just laziness from Drivers however it is more suited for a smaller vehicle anything can actually operate its the same round here in Wrexham drivers complain about anything big on the 11/12/12A/14/21/21A/32/33 even though its seen large vehicles over the years and many years ago you'd see 10.1/7M Darts doing the rounds.
