Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
The only problem with the interworking of the 3 and 4 is occasionally a driver goes the wrong way, and a 4 will turn up Ponciau like a 3 does, then has to turn around outside my house and go back down the road and turn right for Johnstown. I saw this happen a few times the 3 & 4 interworked in the past, and it happened again this afternoon. Easy mistake to make if you're driving both Penycae routes all day.

Anyway as for the Enviro 200s confirmed Delivery date is 26th of June, Rhyls batch will also come near to that time

Thank you for this update LJ51! I may reshuffle my travels to enable me to ride an MMC Enviro 200 in Wrexham in August, September or October.

Sorry to be disappoint you but they will not be MMCs

Also DAF DB250LF S286JUA 3988 is also present at Wrexham for its MOT, strangely T110GGO 3989 is still here to.

X214JOF is probably withdrawn now mate as CX57CYT (0663) has arrived here today fully refurbished and fitted with E-leather seating and Wi-Fi (it may also have next stop announcements) passed mine on a 12 before.

FE51YWM (4714) FE51WSU (4715) both departed early this morning to head back to Derby.

Thank you for warning me. Now I know not to factor in a trip there so soon after all.

Just two days (so they say) until Wrexhams 6 brand new Alexander Dennis E20D Enviro 200s arrive, they were supposed to arrive 26 of June but due to delays have now been moved to 14th of July, so hopefully two days they will be here, must say im rather excited
