Odd that it takes almost twice as long in the afternoon as it does in the morning.

2528 is reported to be on loan at Arriva Leicester, along with 2516 & 2638 to cover repaints (info from yahoo group)

That is just the Service 10 timetable. Unless there is a dupe on it, that exact timetable is just from the 10. I think this is just simply Flintshire CC paying for seats on the 10 rather than running an outright service.

How long do we think 2728 and 849 will stay in service for? They are 16 years old now and have outlasted the rest of their fleet.

Both 849 and 2728 still going strong and both on the 12 today.

I see them all the time I just don't know how long they are keeping them in service for.

just seen J999ABW on a route full of people, I thought it had been withdrawn. also, there is an eclipse driver trainer in the depot next to the b10 now.

According the CWaCC website, the 3 is moving back to the rail station, the X4 will be retimed slightly, 10s have the extra school day trip from Garden City to Connahs Quay, 12 will be rereouted in Sandyway (I think this is meant to be Sandycroft) and the 82 has minor timings in the morning.

I have been told though that the 15 will be having big changes and will be running into the train station as well (serving the bus station en route in both directions) though it will no longer interwork with the 3.
