Yeah the driver said that he found it too powerful for him!!!:P YJ09 EZK has arrived at Ruthin with a Merc going in the other direction, LJI 8023 operated the 5/X5/X52 today and P5 VLT has also arrived at Ruthin with FJ08 BYG gone to Ruabon!!!

Lol, Cummins will have more bhp than a Mercedes engine when it comes to Solo's or Versa's ! :P
That would explain why I didn't see it in Buckley today, Dart BA52GHA was parked up by the Co-Operative. YJ04BVD was on the Chester X1's also.

Aye yeah same engines in the darts as well, the cummins solo's go like s*** compared to the Merc ones!!! BA52 went for its MOT last week and has just stayed at Ruabon with CA05 GHA in its place though I haven't seen it today or yesterday!! Yeah I did see it, SK52 UTU has been on it as well as R230 HCD and N9 GHA!!!

Unlikely given the next contract won't start until 1st April 2016

I would of thought it was a bit early for the tendering process to be open given its over a year away, would they be able to supply the amount of buses needed to operate them?

The operaters will find out whos got the contract around June this year. New buses will have to be purchased. I think the council have mentioned that they want hybrids/ some sort of eco buses on them.
