Do you know why 2653 is being repainted when it's already in the new livery?

It doesn't make much sense to me when Green Lane, Speke, Southport, Bolton and Wythenshawe have barely had any repaints between them for the past year or so

Cymru Coastliner VDL Pulsar 3179 has now applied a facemask vinyl on the front of her. Believe there only doing this for one bus per depot.

2653 was in a RTA

Having not operated any services since April with the 3B Porthmadog - Blaenau Ffestiniog service being operated by Bangor Depot. It seems that the Pwllheli Outstation will close from the 30th of November.

Gwynedd Council are currently looking for tenders to operate the Mon-Sat 3B - As per current timetable and the 3 for a short period until March 2021.

Probably the wrong thread to ask since Bangor don't run any cross border services. You'd be best asking in the Chester thread

Most of the fleet of buses in Bangor have now got poppy stickers applied to the front of their buses for this years remembrance day.

2653 has now come back to Bangor from St Helen's freshly repainted in its 2nd new livery

In other news 4 more Cadets are going from Bangor with 2570/71 for Chester and 2484 and 2573 for Rhyl with 2659 coming back to Bangor from Rhyl.

Some news come out in the past few days that the Pwllheli 3B has been withdrawn. This means the end of the Pwllheli outstation. Not sure the PVR or what buses were there and future plans for those buses but i'm sure someone here can shine a light on the details.
