As a side note, there’s been rumours of some sort of combination between the 35 and 41 into a single circular service. Would be worthwhile imo, there’s definitely a market from the areas the 35 serves for people going to the industrial estate.
Not sure if previously reported but Cadets 2801/02 are no longer visible in the compound at Caego, unless they have moved somewhere else in the yard out of sight can we assume collected by the scrap man?
Most of the MPDs are still there in store.

They are in Click branding. There is a photo of them in the Wales Bus Scene Facebook group (Link also available via NWBB Facebook page)

Although these are believed to be for demostating purposes only, the addition of the Click livery surprised me. It’s also less green and more blue and purple.

I couldn’t find the link or pics on NWBB Facebook or Welsh Bus Scene on Facebook. Instead I found it on Arriva North West and Wales unofficial news on Facebook.

All parked side by side in the compound on Sunday when I had a nose from the public footpath that runs next to it.
They're are NOT for demonstration i doubt they would purchase 13 demonstrators for a start, Arriva Click pointed out their next venture will be in the North West of England and as it stands there is/going to be 13 some still to arrive and spread between North West & Wales as it stands i know for definite Wrexham is allocated one and i'd hazard a guess at the whole of Wales having one at each depot.
Click is not branding its a whole new operation from Arriva it started in Kent where it has seen great success it operates at a bus on demand kind of thing its basically UBER with Buses and operated by Arriva and personally it could be a fantastic success in the likes of Wales especially in the rural area's with it also having an hours of operation of 6:00-22:00
No doubt in someway it will be trial and the more successful of the Depots will have Click full time which the extra vehicles from the non successful area's

Demostrators for depots with the intention of scrapping it from less profitable areas and moving to more profitable areas. Specific wording confuses me and I’m sure that everybody gets confused from time to time.
I’ve no idea how reliable the information I saw on that post is but I guess the English could be better.
As for the service, I hope this new way of operation will show owners of gas guzzling vehicles there’s alternative ways to travel to where they want or need to be. Areas with no service to a handful of buses at most I could see a potential reduction or withdrawal of those services. This of course is if Click is a success here.
