Also I have heard arriva are expanding into the kimmel st car park is this true? if so what are they going to use it for ?

It'll be tight but we'll manage, and may use the car park when the new build starts.

The bungalow will be knocked down.

3984 and 3987 will remain for the summer season, the rest will go. 3998 (EOG 212) has been sold for preservation.

Do we know which organisation/preservationist EOG 212 has gone to? Wonder if it will be preserved in its current open top form or wether it will be re-roofed? Great to hear its been saved.

I so wish arriva expanded further down Denbighshire again

This is my arriva rhyl wish list haha :

52 new service hourly from rhyl - ruhtin dropping a 51 per hour

and bring back the old 50 rhyl - st asaph route


Also when the 12 is going sapphire does anybody what buses will be leaving the rhyl fleet.
whether its dlas/pulsars/darts

I think some versas or solo srs would be great on the 35/36

2504 and 2509 have arrived from Bangor, expected to stay for a good few weeks as all the paper work for both buses has come with them.

Also 0002 has returned to Chester this afternoon.
