Arriva Midlands North
We had a AMN thread on the old forum but cannot find one in the reincarnation. As I type it occurs to me that there may be one on the 'Elsewhere' section but as AMN work into Wrexham I think it qualifies - just - as North West, particularly the Oswestry outpost and as I've started............

I was in Shrewsbury briefly today and on my infrequent visits always look out for the Oswestry workings on the 70. For the last few years these have regularly been the Pointer Darts 2367-70. Last time there was the odd Versa from 2992/3/5 which were allocated for the Ellesmere routes. Today on the 1610 ex Shrewsbury was a brand new Versa in full interurban livery YJ12PLV with fleet number 3696. AMN have used 29xx for Versas and recently made space for more by renumbering Solos from 29xx to 25xx. Unfortunately I did not see the legals so assume this was a loan from elsewhere or a demo though if a demo it would be unlikely to be in full livery with a precise fleet number.

Can anyone throw any light?
