Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
915 LJ51 DCX has broke down and is parked up in a bus stop in Ponciau while on route 3.. There was a severe grinding noise coming from the rear wheel.. 2 fitters turned up in a van, had a look under the rear of the bus, removed the ticket machine, locked the bus and drove off in their van. I guess there will be a recovery truck here soon.

Edit: Recovery truck towed 915 away at 16.40 after engineers spent some time under the rear of the bus.

Tonight's Dart's On Route 1

0813 : T65 JBA
0823 : V553 ECC
0914 : LJ51 DCU
0848 : Y548 UJC

Not Very good Seeming As The Other 3 Apart From 0914 Should be PDL's

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
I agree, especially when Pulsars sit in the depot unused too. I'd be interested to know the difference in fuel consumption between the Pulsars and the PDLs actually, because aside from that, I see no reason why the much newer Pulsars should sit in the depot whilst the PDLs go out into the evening.

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
4061 has been off with a blown gearbox which imploded in Chester last week mate - don't think it'll have been in any state to go on test runs!

As for 2513, it'll be interesting to see what happens with it as it was indeed intended to be a backup for the 1 operating certain locals at other times but, with the X94 looking likely to return to Wrexham in the near-ish future, it may well see that again yet! We'll see anyhow!

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
The X94 Returns to wrexham in December and Doggelau will now be our outstation
