No it isn't usual practice at all. The DAFs were predominately used on the 8/9 and 68 before they were withdrawn

2471 and 4209 are on loan here to cover for vehicles being away for repaint

2471 did not last long as its apparently broken down!

If anyone is interesting in reading up about the brand new Enviro400 Citys for Sapphire Service 1 between Wrexham and Chester visit this link and get yourself a brew :- https://thenorthwestbusblog.co.uk/macauleypugh/thirteen-new-buses-for-sapphire-service/

Also 2471 did two trips before being taken off and dumped in the middle of the yard

4209 has been on early morning then needed a jump start in Wrexham about 13:00 then and i presume is still working on Service one, ill post photos of that later Smile

A good read there but missing the brew. I noticed straight away the title is North West and not Wales, we all make mistakes Hammer

Does anybody know if the Enviro400s if they'll keep their next stop displays/audio announcements and the private plates?

It's been reported eleswhere that there's at least 4 of the new deckers in service on the 1 today.

when will the old sapphire buses leave wrexham? ₩


RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - Y727 KNF - 30/06/2017 12:40

1007 and 1008 are in service today, and the old Sapphires will probably leave Wrexham from tomorrow onwards since the new ones were officially meant to enter service tomorrow Smile
