Its ashame when smaller independents close up shop as these make the bus scene more exciting with there random fleets etc , where with the larger operators they have a standardised fleet more or less. |

There is reportedly contamination there causing further delays. As I say, 'reportedly'. Unsure about this as someone told a mate who told me and obviously things can get missed or not told properly as the line goes on.

The C56 can't make that much as D Jones reduced it's trips recently. IT was hourly into Chester now it is every 2 hours with gaps for schools. Unsure what the subsidy is for but the registration does say it is somewhat subsidised. IT could just be a diversion money though but the C56 I hardly see anyone on it. When I do, they aren't really fare paying but if SC were to take it on, £4 day ticket would get you much further again and I strongly feel it could be a viable alternative to the Saph 1. I am just speculating though and of course nothing is confirmed about the longer term plan on the C56. |

RE: D Jones & Son to Cease Trading
Arriva are running hourly services to wrexham industrial estate from 5am plus they are putting deckers & another decker for llangollen schools so all pupils can get on board, arriva need at least 15 extra buses in bangor in 2 weeks, I'm surprised by how many companies are going out of business, plus with 2 council owned companies going private, makes you wonder what will happen next year |
