I read on Facebook that 917 has been withdrawn - can anybody confirm this?

917 has been missing most if not all the summer at Wrexham.

I say bring back the welsh commanders home

Yes i put it on Facebook, it is withdrawn unless said different it needs a lot of work doing to it but Arriva said they are not paying for it so it is withdrawn until further notice and they have been told NOT to strip it for parts as it may return to the road but at this current time its down as withdrawn and off Wrexhams books.

I think that'd be a bit difficult considering Bootle depot need them!

Thanks for the confirmation guys. It's good to see that 917 is being kept just in case Arriva decide to repair it if needed

A bit of a change on the Penycae's today, instead of the usual full allocation of Enviro200's we've got a couple of MPD's 920,879 and a 57 reg Solo with just 2 Enviro200's.

I saw an Enviro operating a Minera in the afternoon

They say the Enviro 200s are for Pen-y-Cae but they are really not, they get used on anything and everything they have no specific route branding etc so they can be used on what they want i've seen one on every route now at least.

Personally i dont think they are suited to Pen-y-Cae plus the service does not even run as late as others personally i think they are more suited to the 12/13 or the 32/33.

I noted 2145 CX15 BXZ on the Saturday on the 12, was odd to see 2147 DK15 EHB 2148 & DK15 EHC following each other on the 32/33 mid afternoon however!
