Oswestry had one of the onetime Bryn Melyn drivers with GHA until the end in place and working the 576 within a week. Regards Chris |

That is awful that is i know its better than no bus at all but to run it with a timetable like that is disgusting, pretty sure if Arriva get the Service they will sort that out from every hour to something like that for such a route is quite extreme, surely just every two hours would of been the better option. |

Update to the below from a check on 20/08, PVS have cleared all of the below list except 904 and 2351 that are the only remaining examples in store. 838 appears to have departed, can anyone confirm to PVS for scrap or store elsewhere?

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
Is there any info on new deckers for the 1? It was mentioned on here a while ago and recently in a routeONE article, but little to nothing has been mentioned about them (type, amount, etc). Anyone here know anything? |
