Did you not try erm crossing over at some point? You'd only have waited an hour then. Or does the 3 and 4 interwork there

Only route 4 and 12 pass the Arriva depot, The whole point i waited was to photograph 2722, i photographed it earlier at 12:00 at Broughton Retail Park and then went to Manor road for a photo of it on its next Mold bound Journey but it broke down at Chester Railway Station and then went dead to Mold after being repaired so i waited longer for it to then run dead to Mold and then return on a Chester and thats when i photographed it and boarded it back to Chester, luckily it was a nice day so no complaints from me Smile

Arrrhhhhh (very long 'Ah) didn't think of that. Yes a fantastic day for spotting yesterday and again today.

Yes very long but the weather certainly made up for it, i think a trip to Llandudno or Barmouth is needed to enjoy this weather whilst photographing or even a nice trip on the Roller Coasters at Rhyl Smile

Also does anyone have any confirmation of the MPD sitting in Chester depot it looks like Wrexhams LJ51DCV (0916) but i could not get a clear view of it, forgot to ask.


It is DCV, just seen a pic on fb showing it in Manor Lane, is it withdrawn or is it gonna be used at some point?

Original plan was for it to be used but official fleet list is showing it off fleet now so it seems to be withdrawn as of this moment.
