I thought 2641 was based at Chester depot, the most recent photo I have found states that it is a Arriva North West vehicle so it must operated by ANW. Strange because ABW registered the route.

Arriva North West & Wales 675... "LES RIMMER"
I hadn't seen this bus for a while, but a Flickr friend had taken a picture of this bus. Does anyone know the reason behind the LES RIMMER naming...? Regards, ANW 2283 Previously marcus T Darting across the NW and Midlands... Starting to put a moves book together... http://www.ipernity.com/blog/bontybermo |

RE: Arriva North West - Chester Depot
Les Rimmer was the general manager at Chester depot (or similar) who sadly passed away around the times the Solos were delivered, so the depot named 675 after him. Justice is finally here. Rest In Peace the 96, You'll Never Walk Alone.
