12 - Llandudno Palladium - Rhyl Bus Station - CX54 DKO 2496
11C/11 - Rhyl Bus Station - Golftyn Hare & Hounds - CX61 CCZ 4480


CX15 BXR - 4640:

Average for me! Sounded Solid but it rattled way too much for an Enviro400 with E-leather seats


CX14 BXM - 4549:

My Favourite 2nd Gen Enviro400! Brilliant! Sounded amazing, didn't rattle as much as 4640 and was definitely comfy on the lifted seats on the bottom deck unlike most Enviro400's


CX58 EUA - 673:

Normally I get Slow Sluggish Solo's, this one was hellfire, rapid and can get up hills very easily, sounded nice too, best Solo of the 3 at Rhyl imo


CX58 ETZ - 672:

Average! Very loud idle vibrations, however it sounded ok and did get going but wasn't as fast as 673


CX57 CYO - 660:

Smooth, Quick, Sounded nice, however I do prefer 673 just about, for me 2nd for this one


DK55 FXH - 2523:

This was alright, it had loud idle vibrations but it sounded amazing, can easily compare this one to 2518 which I had in March.


CX57 CYO - 660:

Same as before


CX54 DKO - 2496:

The oldest bus in the fleet is one of the best Cadets around, sounded amazing, barely rattled, got going well, an interesting diversion too due to a road in Abergele being closed


CX54 DKO - 2496:

Same as before


CX61 CCZ - 4480:

Sounded nice, gearbox sounded amazing and got going well, only negative is the fact my seat was extremely uncomfortable.


CX15 BXR - 7.8
CX14 BXM - 10
CX58 EUA - 9.8
CX58 ETZ - 7.5
CX57 CYO - 9.6
DK55 FXH - 8.8
