One of them was involved in an RTA on its first day of service - 3146 rings a bell?

Are the routes pretty straight forward along main roads or are they quite tricky to learn?

Some routes are quite tricky, especially the Mold routes as they all go a different way after the Overleigh roundabout for the X44/X55 which go to Mold via the A55 and also the 3/3A/4/4S go a different way after the Broughton Shopping Park.

Also you need to be aware that parts of the 10 route through Connah's Quay can be tricky, some roads are narrow and very tight to get around.

You looking to work for Arriva Chester at all.

Did the Arriva Chester depot replace the depot that used to be in Mold that became a Kwik Save but i think its something else now .

I know that a lot of depots in Wales did pass over to a developer who seemed to be building a lot of superstores for the now defunct kwik Save.
