Slightly shocked today that one of the old Engineering facilties have been knocked down at Wrexham depot and is now used for Spare buses as
2353, 2360, 4041, 4030, 2355, 2351, 4098 and 0868 demonstrate.

One of the Enviro400's was at Rhyl having MOT prep work yesterday, and it's been said on the Arriva Wales Facebook page, that all of the Enviro400's are having new cooling systems fitted sometime, at nearly £5000 each, which should improve their reliability. That may explain why some are absent.

They have already had there new fans fitted quite a while back actually...they are just still so unreliable...i must of just missed X209JOF (0860) on the 1 shame really would of been nice to have a decent and much better performing bus home....J999ABW (2799) is now a Wrexham vehicle again.
