There have been timetable tweaks to some Wrexham services from Monday 24th April and I've noticed that the interworking of routes has changed quite a bit. The previous interworking of the 3 & 4 using five buses, mainly Enviro200's has now changed.
From my observations this week, route 3 to Penycae is now using 13 different vehicles a day, so this route must be interworking with quite a number of other routes in Wrexham. Buses are taking six & a half hours before appearing on the 3 again.

Buses noted on the 3 today were: 919 692 662 918 693 920 694 849 695 661 660 2145 2148

Noted on the 4 when i nipped out were 2147 & 691.

Could this be related to all the roadworks chaos in the town over the last week for allocations of duties to change in the short term?

It could very well be Chris, everyone has had a nightmare with the traffic in the town this week. Third party contractor hitting a gas main, then the gas repair guys hitting a water main

What next for you? Water board hitting an electricity cable or a building
