7625 is one of the best marshalls along with 7655. Only reason I can think of 7625 being in service is to replace 2321 which I have not seen out for a few months now.

There are some that are truly dreadful, but with not that many marshalls left in service you would hope most of the bad ones have gone.

I caught up with Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urban J999 ABW (2799) on the 10 to Connah's Quay today, preformed faultlessly as always. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasharrison/9614859029/

2796 has just been swapped at Chester depot for 3142 on the 4

RE: Arriva North West - Chester Depot
3142 has had to reverse through Mold bus station and turn around and go out the way it came in as the bollards did not lower for it to go through, do certain buses have something on them that allows them to make the bollards lower?

There called transponders , if the bus isnt a regular at the depot then that could be the problem , but you would have thought that Arriva would have thought of that prior to using that vehicle on that route .

The Pulsar does belong to Chester garage who do the 3 and 4 but all of their buses should have transponders, saying that a 12 plate Pulsar was rare for the 3 and 4 as they're always on the Blacon routes so it explains why the Pulsars don't have transponders, it did cause a bit of chaos holding up the X44 and 27 trying to reverse through Mold bus station
