The prices given for "Wales" day savers on this page are identical to those of the "North West and Wales" ones - surely they don't offer the choice of a more restrictive ticket at exactly the same price? The page does list some child weekly and 4-weekly "Wales" tickets that are cheaper than their "North West and Wales" counterparts, so presumably what you say does apply to those, but for all day tickets, and all durations of adult ticket, they are identical to NW&W (or rather "Wales and North West", as it is printed when issued in Wales). (I bought one in Bangor last week and used it as far as Childwall!) |

North West and Wales are valid within England, its the welsh local and the ones branded as just "Wales" that aren't (I could of made that clearer). |

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot
Basically the North West ones can be used in Wrexham/Chester and Mold and to Connahs Quay on the 10. The Wales only ones are valid for use in Wales but can be used to Chester on the 1, 3, 4, X4, 11 and 10/10A it works slightly like the Welsh Concessionary pass - Can board in Wales and alight in England - Can board in England and alight in Wales - Can not board in England and alight in England. The North West & Wales one can be used across the whole Arriva North West and Arriva Buses Wales network

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot
Sorry, I should have made myself clearer too - I wasn't suggesting that a "Wales" day saver is valid in Merseyside, but questioning whether said "Wales" day saver actually still exists. Do they really still sell a separate Wales-only one, even though the price given is the same as NW&W? It seems a strange thing to do, given that the choice provides absolutely no advantage to the passenger, but has the potential to cause confusion and frustration if a passenger ends up with the wrong one. |

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but when do Arriva generally release their bus orders for the year? Stagecoach and First amongst others have released theirs, but when searching for Arriva 2016 orders I find nothing |

It was on the forum somewhere but I can't find it now. |
