Arriva Buses Wales - Rhyl Depot

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Rhyl Depot
Who agrees with me that the 11/11a/11g/11m rhyl - chester needs a better frequency , so the service operates every 20 minutes instead of every 30 mins.

Also who thinks the services 12/51 need more buses per hour

Increasing frequency sometimes isnt the best idea , maybe vehicles with more capacity is a better idea , its just trying to find them vehicles in the Arriva empire.

They are already operated by wright gemeni 2s though. How bigger can arriva rhyl get.

Another problem is Operating Disc's if you increase the amount of vehicles at Rhyl , by increasing the frequencies somebody else in the company is going to have to start losing operating discs to cover unless they go for an increase in disc's but that comes at a price , I fear.

The companies only have a certain vehicle allocation at depots , usually depends on size of depot and available space , looking at where Rhyl depot is there doesnt look much space , it certaintly looks a tight fit .

I do wonder what the Authorisation is for Arriva Buses Wales as a whole and Rhyl on its own.

I think Chester and Rhyl could work the 11\11a\11g\11m together and bring in a few more deckers for it also then there could be a few more journeys to Chester til roughly 7 or 8 that could finish in Chester, run oos to Chester garage then do the first 11 journeys the next morning

i agree the route only needs 5 more buses anyway to make it a 20 mins service frequency. the extra 5 buses could be based at chester

Is there now a capacity issue on the 11 route? There certainly wasn't when I last used it, but that was back when the Geminis were brand new.
