Some of the changes to Route 1 over the coming months due to the roadworks have been announced, with services in the evening when the top of the A483 (Pulford roundabout) is closed single deckers (MPDs I assume) will be used as they are being diverted through Eccleston.

It appears that they will go into Handbridge and then double back on themselves to get to the Business Park, which I am sure people will love!

There's been an X reg Cadet in service on route 3 for the last couple of days. It's destination blind isn't working, it's just got a board in the windscreen displaying "Penycae"
I'm not 100% on the identity, but I think it's X431 HJA which is 2431.
This may have been drafted in to work the evening Chester's on the diverted route which Garsty has mentioned.

Chester Dart X257 HJA 2257 has appeared on the 3 to Penycae this afternoon.

It is indeed 2431 also one UID 23** V-DJC is in Service with 2257 X257HJA, 2620 is also here and of course 2431 all these vehicles have arrived due to all the disruption to Service 1 so they are all back up vehicles basically and are being used on anything and everything incase things go wrong and to many Services get dropped etc...

Also Enviro 200 Demonstrator YX14RXB is set to Arrive at Wrexham depot soon...

Confirmation has come through that Wrexham depot has placed its order on 6 brand new Alexander Dennis E20D's fitted with Wifi and Leather seating which is now arriva standard they could also possibly be MAX for Service 32/33 and 3/4 service's which both inter work either way they are intended for Service's 32/33 and 3/4, Enviro 200 Demonstrator (more than likely YX14RXB) is also expected within the next few weeks which will be trialed for one month which will include Type Training, Engineering recognition and training and also trial on routes and also other local service's to for future purchases.

Also on that note a Enviro 200 fresh from factory also popped by last week for a quick route trial so they could place order on the 6 brand new vehicles and order the Demonstrator before later returning to Plaxton.
