AND in other news the fleet list will change again as of Sunday 11th of September, as i reported late last year Rhyls 2151-2155 will be transferred to Wrexham with 914/917 918-920 heading to Rhyl to see out their lifes with Replacements due (rumored as Enviro 200MMCs)
Thanks Macaulay
Would make sense with the Cadets, 2727 in particular is very tidy after repair job last year whilst Telford based that saw it repaired, repainted and even the seats retrimmed! Notably 2724 of the same batch still lingers on at Shrewsbury.
Shame the MPDs been culled with only leave 849 and 852 active, no doubt these won't be around for long. I guess at Enviro200s will allow standardised types at Wrexham with Rhyl having the same pre and post change of the MMC versions.

Similar to what Stagecoach did in Chester, sent all the standard Enviro200s to Rock Ferry and all MMCs to Chester.

Y367 UON numbered 2803 as seen today on route 5
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - Depotosw - 10/09/2016 12:11
Y352 UON also on 5 numbered 2801
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - LJ51 DDA - 10/09/2016 13:40
Yes numbers confirmed as 2712 > 2801, 2726 > 2802 and 2727 > 2803 although i think their has been some confusion somewhere as they have been numbered into the Volvo B6 Series oddly although at least they now have their own numbers.

I saw 914 and 918 been looped around Wrexham Bus Station just short of 10:00 on the Sunday morning minus ticket machines, perhaps on last farewell
2152-5 all noted at Caego in by 16:00, didn't see 2151 but could have been out of view.
No physical sign of 2802 / 2726 Y366 UON at Caego or Wrexham. Any ideas?

It did not get picked up from Shrewsbury as when Caego went to pick it up Shrewsbury had locked up the depot as amusing as it sounds so 2726 is still currently a Midlands vehicle and yet to move here although its Numbers have been given so i presume will move up here in the near future.

Thanks for clearing that up, yes Shrewsbury is very backwards and operates no Sunday services so explains why it was locked in on the day they tried to collect it. Would have made more sense to have moved it over to Oswestry for collection prior with the other pair.
