On another note 919 LJ51 DDA was on the 53, appeared to be quite crowded

Also 2727 was on the 51, one of the Sapphires were on 11s and one of the Coastliners was on 12s (can't remember which they were sorry)

Saw 2519 (DK55 FXD) heading out of Rhyl this morning (7am ish) Not in Service, so presume was going to Denbigh to take up X51 duties.

Supposedly for the X51 as thats going Sapphire soon, once Wrexham receive its new deckers for Service 1, the 4402-4410 4421/4422 batch is going onto the 5 (also going Sapphire) Some to Rhyl for the X51 (also going Sapphire) and i think the rest are off to Bangor.

What happened to the 1930 11 from Chester? It's disappeared from the app and the online timetable and I've just had to wait longer for the 11A from Broughton, this bus will also take much longer from Holywell as it'll be an 11M not an 11X

So when are Wrexham getting new uses?

It's hardly a consolation but whenever a bus disappears from the app it invariably means it has failed for some reason. On the other hand, on occasions a bus has turned up when it is not showing up on the app. How that happens I don't know.

It's seriously bad luck if a vehicle fails while on the 11 due to how far away they can get from the depot.

I can still remember when that thing was new! Being a Scania it was very fast, with strong acceleration.

Pity it's been chopped-about, it's a bit too late to save it now, and 15-grand??
NO THANKS!

As seen at the old Paradise Street Bus Station (notice the radiator grille ahead of the rear axle).....
