Yes it is - depending on your definition of "DAF".

Although they were badged as "VDL Bus" from around the end of 2003, they continued to be officially registered as "DAF" until around 2007.

Older ones vary between "DAF" and "DAF Trucks" as the registered manufacturer - Y20 BLU being the latter.

So being especially pedantic, one could argue that it's actually the last remaining non-DAF Cadet

Y20 BLU is on the 12 , just been past it.

Does anyone know why Arriva have cancelled and withdrawn the X2 from Chester to Ellesmere Port?

it doesn't come in to effect until the 15th May

I was told due to the increase of Stagecoach Smart Cards and the result of low revenue with Arriva's share of the X2.

So that's it arriva are calling it quits rather than transferring to Laird Street

Kinda looks it that way. :/

if arriva are struggling with the x2 due to stagecoach cheaper tickets how long has arrivas share of 2 has until they throw in the towel even though they are repainting the buses
