So with the recent swap with Rhyl (Wrexham got Rhyl's Enviro200s and they got Darts in return) is there likely to be a similar swap with Bangor to keep a standardised fleet? Bangor have a few Y-UJC darts and Wrexham now have a lot of Enviro200s so it would be a logical move

No not at all the reason for this swap was Rhyl are receiving new vehicles (ADL Enviro 200MMCs at this moment in time) and they wanted to drop Wrexhams fleet age massively and keep the whole '15' batch together in which they have done.

Ok thanks for clarifying, I take it these new buses will be the shortest wheelbase available like last time, and for the circulars and town services?

Was also on it this morning as noted in Wrexham. On a evening turn for your sighting? Could it be out due to the Balloon Festival in Llangollen today for extra capacity?
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - Depotosw - 18/09/2016 17:45
Route 5 had some interesting allocations today, 2145 CX15 BXZ on the 10:00 ex Wrexham was rammed full as it was served the stop near Ruabon Station (already busy before this) so no surprise Sapphire Enviro400's, 4404/5/8 all appeared over the day on other turns, 4408 replaced 2145 after a single round trip. The reason Wales International Balloon Festival at Llangollen with lots of good loads noted over the day.
Whilst on can anytime confirm the changes for October to the service logged with VOSA?

Thanks, where did you get this information as a matter of interest? If so a shame they didn't give it a chance to grow towards Christmas.

918 was noted back in Wrexham on Sunday 23rd Oct, seem laying over in the Bus Station at 12:00, reason unknown. I noted it as heading out of a 5 at the time. It was gone by 13:00 when I returned and a sighting from a friend in Rhyl said it was noted back in Rhyl 15:30. Any ideas what it was doing?
