Someone else will need to confirm but I'm fairly certain Dolgellau just has an allocation of Commanders for the X94 with nothing more.

Commander's are no longer operating the X94. The Commander's have now been transferred to Bangor and now 3 Volvo B7RLE/ Wright Eclipse are now running the X94. A 4th bus is available too, J999ABW - 2799 Previously registered CX57BZO, mainly used as a spare bus for Sapphire service 1 between Wrexham and Chester.
CX04HRN - 2793
CX04HRP - 2795
CX04HRR - 2794

a lot of volvo's have moved to dolgellau (2793 - 2795) with a mini dart working from wrexham normally , and all commanders have moved to bangor 2504 -2513.
A single solo bus oeprates out of pwllheli normally 688.

Dolgellau only have 2 buses now. as cx04axy said usually Volvo's out of 2793/4/5 with Wrexham having the other one. MPD's V553/4ECC are usual spares and can work from either depot as required.

They tend to not use 2799 on the X94 as it has a digital tacho instead of the older type. It did do the first round trip from Wrexham about 3 weeks ago but not seen it on there since.

Anyone know what's happening to the 20 (Aber-Cardiff)?

Is there a replacement or is it a full cancellation?
