RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - Garsty - 24/03/2013 14:03
Its astounding the amount of stupid people on the Facebook page constantly asking if buses are running 'as the main roads are clear' can they not understand the message like!
Quote:Wrexham update 8am
Please assume at this time that no Wrexham services will operate.
The depot staff are busy assessing routes at the moment, as soon as we have information one way or the other, we will post it.
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - CX54 DKD - 24/03/2013 14:24
To be fair, for messages like that to continually be posted by the public, do we not assume that there's been no subsequent posts 'one way or the other' since 8am? By midday, surely the depot know what is going to run today and what is not in order to be in a position to make passengers aware, no?

By midday, surely the depot know what is going to run today and what is not in order to be in a position to make passengers aware, no?I would agree, but less than an hour later they replied saying:
Quote:the buses are unable to get out of the depot at the moment, we will post updates as we get them.Not long after that:
Quote:Wrexham update 8:40amAfter a load more people asking after that:
The snow is still very deep at the depot, and the following services will NOT be operating until further notice 1,3,4,11a,12,13,37,44a.
We apologise for the ongoing disruption in the Wrexham area.
Quote:We think its safe to say that, at the moment, there are no buses running in the Wrexham area.Then again after another hour of people asking:
Quote: Hi, no Wrexham services are running today. Sorry. We think the depot is in contact with the Council to try and help us free the buses!Then after more questions:
Quote:Wrexham update 10:30am
Sorry to announce that it is highly unlikely that any Wrexham services will be running today.

(27/03/2013 23:45)cx04axy Wrote: When's the launch of Saphire?? Anyone know at all ?? for the route 1?As far as I know, there are currently roadworks along the route, so I presume that Arriva will wait for them to clear before launching their refreshed service. After all, it wouldn't be good in business terms to launch a new brand which is heavily affected by those roadworks as, for example, buses may run late.
