Do you know why 2653 is being repainted when it's already in the new livery?

It doesn't make much sense to me when Green Lane, Speke, Southport, Bolton and Wythenshawe have barely had any repaints between them for the past year or so

Cymru Coastliner VDL Pulsar 3179 has now applied a facemask vinyl on the front of her. Believe there only doing this for one bus per depot.

Having not operated any services since April with the 3B Porthmadog - Blaenau Ffestiniog service being operated by Bangor Depot. It seems that the Pwllheli Outstation will close from the 30th of November.

Gwynedd Council are currently looking for tenders to operate the Mon-Sat 3B - As per current timetable and the 3 for a short period until March 2021.

Probably the wrong thread to ask since Bangor don't run any cross border services. You'd be best asking in the Chester thread

Some news come out in the past few days that the Pwllheli 3B has been withdrawn. This means the end of the Pwllheli outstation. Not sure the PVR or what buses were there and future plans for those buses but i'm sure someone here can shine a light on the details.
