How many buses moved out when all of the cuts were made? Bangor, based purely off the information on the Arriva news page, looks like 3 additional buses, plus 1 extra at Chester. Given the cuts to the 4 were pretty hefty and the 62s got cuts, are these buses still available? Is it the case that the additional buses will be mostly off peak and therefore can make use of the school buses which currently seem to not do anything between schools?

The mini solos were withdrawn/transffered 661,665,667,668 &669with 2655,58,59 left bangor with 674,689,90&91.

Amlwch outstation still retained 4 buses (3 for passenger service 1 for schools and college) with a possibility of an additional 1.
For the 4s the loss was only 2 vechiles. (Please correct me if im mistaken).

Im guessing its 3 additional for Bangor

Unfortunately for 689 it is now withdrawn after following a collision last November it's engine has now gone into 694 and nothing heard about 696.
