That sounds about right! A lot around Liverpool are sluggish like 2673 now, even including a 12-plate (Bootle's 3110!). Can't imagine 2673 performing too well if it ventured to Mold...!

Many quite steep little hills round Pen-Y-Cae, did not like them one bit was screaming its back end going up some, got to be one of the worst ones for sure.

Yeah it's a tight 90 degree left turn up to Rhos, with a wall on the left and a wall straight in front. Nightmare for any long vehicle.

In other words 2673 is a shed and can't cope so has been sent back.

Pretty much...

Also i was informed by someone who doesn't know to much about buses as we do so a correction to earlier post it has been confirmed as DAF SB120 Wright Cadet Y20BLU (2556) not a Commander. Sorry about that.

Exchanged due to size rather than performance would be a fair assumption then?

A quick check on the back fence at Caego to see if anything has changed @ 16:45. A few things have been shifted around with the following order from nearest the road:

865, 823, 863 [fire damaged rear], 851, 2562 [GAP with staff cars parked] 832, 866, 824 [GAP and into long grass] and what appeared to be 2560.

823 and 866 has lost a few more parts since I last looked. 832 still looks complete and untouched. 824 still proclaims 'X94 Abermaw' in the flipdot from when its engine gave up on the X94 some time ago as I understand!
