2594 is the missing bustimes vehicle on the 10's, just seen it in Shotton working the 1524 to Chester despite the dest saying it's opposite travel.

Is 2526 staying at Chester on a permanent or is it just a long term loan?

Earlier on, Wrightbus Commander 2593 was seen abandoned at Broughton Airbus for hours, last heard there was smoke coming out the back and 2 lads were by it.

I was the driver on it yesterday. It suffered a blow out on the offside rear tyres.

It's been off the road since the 15th September.

Looks like whatever was wrong with 998 has been resolved as it’s currently on the 4 to Mold, and sounding healthy. With 999 also out, on the 3 to Broughton Village, this means we now have both remaining Versas out in service.

I’d be curious to know what happened to the rest of the Versas, though - I could’ve sworn there was more than two of them when Chester used to have them, back before they were all sent to Wrexham? Or am I misremembering?

There's only ever been the two Versas
