Is 668 a loan or a proper allocation to Rhyl?

Does anyone know when 4402-4409 are due to be branded for the 51 please? (If at all)

Thanks

Is 2658 based here? If so it was out of service in Bootle earlier being driven towards the depot!

I think that has recently moved to Bangor

2658 is (or was) based at Bangor

Rhyl now has 6 cadets (not liked very much by drivers) they seem reluctant to start sometimes, but a much needed improvement from the darts for passengers - More seats which are more comfortable to sit on

Not seen 914/7/8/9/20 lately but 921/2 soldier on

917 is stored in Wrexham, 918 stored at Bangor (the later suspected to be donating the engine).

The Cadets have the exact same seats as the Darts.....

914 still at Rhyl (Withdrawn however)
917 at Wrexham
918 at Bangor (Engine donation to 2640)
919 at Chester (Engine donation to unknown Cadet)
920 is unknown at the moment.

Cadets have a DAF/VDL SB120 chassis that is basically the same as a Dart as they have the same Cummins engines and Alison Gearboxes so they are pretty much a Dart essentially

920 has been off the road this week for prep for its MOT tomorrow.
