Arriva North west and wales new bus and brands 2017
This is my first post, See how this goes. Other than new Volvo Geminis, MAN lion city and Enviro 200 EV on the horizon, Is there any other news on new buses and new Sapphire/MAX service around the North west and Wales this year? |

As Rhyl are expecting some of the current batch of Sapphire buses at Wrexham so I wouldn't be surprised if the 51 was upgraded to Sapphire - especially as Arriva Max specification is identical to the standard specification for all brand new vehicles |

Arriva Max X30/X31 - Warrington - Runcorn - Frodsham - Helsby - X30 to Chester/ X31 to Ellesmere Port via Elton and Cheshire Oaks, Hourly each routes with a combined Half Hourly service between Warrington - Helsby.

X31 no chance its a step on the feet of Stagecoach with there X2 and these days that just doesn't happen. X8 well im not sure there is enough passengers for the service to be increased , maybe a seasonal service but not all year round . 89 could do with enhancing up to a new standard , improving customer experience , too many times I have been on the service and it can get quite cosy at times depending on direction and time of the day. |
