Via:
Service Number: X51
Service Type: Normal Stopping
Effective Date: 17-JUL-2016
Other Details: To Replace GHA Coaches Service X50
Operated by Rhyl Depot not Wrexham.
Good to see the Sunday service has been timed to give a 30 minute headway ex Wrexham alongside the Oswestry 2 service upto Acrefair and vice versa the other way. Arriva between the two operations will have the upper hand on Wrexham weekly tickets over D Jones which I assume dont do Sunday?
I don't live in the north Wales area but it seems that Arriva have gained quite a bit at GHA's demise. Has anyone calculated how many additional vehicles (and drivers) are now required?

D Jones dont operate at all on Sundays i dont think they ever really have and i doubt they ever will which certainly gives Arriva the upper hand as stated.

Wrexham has needed no additional Drivers required just having more of their own staff in each day as for vehicles Wrexham have gained one VDL SB200 Wright Pulsar 2917 and two VDL SB200 Wright Commanders 2594 and 2601.
I have been informed that Arriva will find out by the end off the week if they have gained the 40 and 146 after talks with the council, it will be ran from Wrexham depot with additional buses to be acquired if they gain the Service.

Not sure if three or four to be honest i know the 146 is PVR of 2 not sure if the 40 is one vehicle or two either way it will be more than likely four providing an extra spare.
Im wonder if its the reason why they are trailing the coastliners on the 62 to free cadets from bangor
