I do wonder if 4723 ever makes it up now that Rhyl seemingly know it has a suspension fault on it .

Midlands have no use for them now, once Rhyl have used them they are to be parked up at Wrexham to await reallocation.

All change from what was supposed to happen for Rhyl over the bridge closure, 4714 & 4715 left for Wrexham today after being deemed unfit for service, 2556 also returned to Wrexham. 4716 & 4723 won't be coming to Rhyl either. Plans have been made for some movements from Merseyside and Wales. Details to follow.

Simple diversion for 11 in Saltney, not causing any issues. Locals diversion now finished. The blue bridge has only been closed a few hours so we're unable to tell how it will affect the service.

2689 picked up from St Helens and 2991 picked up from Southport tonight to provide cover if needed while an extra two buses being trod for the 12 service which while the blue bridge is closed is operating a PVR of 20.
