I've noticed that recently, 998 or 999 has been allocated to service 35. Good idea as this route can get quite busy at times and the Enviro 200's are a bit small

It will be interesting to see the changes given 5 of these routes are Ex D Jones. I wonder if the 5s will go up. Obviously GHA and D Jones ran every 20 mins then Arriva dropped due to lack of passengers, now with no competition, is there enough passengers to increase the frequency again?

I thought it should have gone up to every 20/30 mins asap after the demise of D Jones, but in all honesty even now they’re rarely busy, school buses apart. The majority of the route is covered by Oswestry depots 2’s which have seen a big increase in loading on the Wrexham - Ruabon section. The Acrefair - Llangollen section itself doesn’t really justify much more of a service than it gets now, unless it starts taking a chunk of passengers back off the 2’s.
