Thanks CX04 - much appreciated

Sapphire wright streetlights been looked into and possible Enviro400's. Streetlights been looked as first choice, and Enviro400 as 2nd. There is a slight debate looking to ugrade 4 and x4 and 62. To be complete by spring/summer 2015 one route will be sapphire but not sure which one. leaving a few pulsars spare to cover route 13 llandudno to prestatyn, when new buses arrive.
I suspect if its the 4/4a it will be streetlites
And 62 it will be Enviro400 deckers as the route is overcrowding in morning and afternoon evening services, using existing pulsars

822 i gather will be back.on the road soon after been nearly a year and half off road. Its been.brought back.due.to.shortage of mpd's
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor - Depotosw - 15/10/2014 14:38
Interesting choice to return to service, I would have thought 827 would have been more suitable as been off for much less time, mind both minus engines when I last saw.
You do wonder if anything could have been pulled out of Wrexham, such as 868 in the pool fleet or even something like 832 that looked complete when I saw it recently.

Engine out of 827 is been exchanged into 822 i believe as the body of.the vechlile is in a.lot better cond, its then going to be MOT'D back on road if.all.goes to plan
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor - Depotosw - 15/10/2014 15:39
Thanks for the info, 822 will certainly be a very interesting comeback into service.

I highly doubt 0822 will re-enter Service with it being A W-reg considering they are fading of the V regs (except Ex London PDLs) and that X-reg will be gone in early 2015 (again with the exception of Ex London PDLs)
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor - cx04axy - 15/10/2014 21:32
We still have 2331 a brilliant bus, wait and see and that's T reg also Bangor do have a few w reg's going about. 822 was originally taken off the road. I'm very excited to see it. With a lot of deckers been put on the 4 and 62 and releasing cadets leaving Bangor short is costing the business a lot of money, so I suppose making use of what you got and coming out of a situation saving money is key. I'm not Arriva management nor an expert in logistics but its possible slight common sense

Are 4186 - 91 all at Bangor? I think I saw a photo of one at Rhyl.
