Y20 BLU is out and about on Route 3/33 today.

CX09BGF (0690) will be heading for refurbisment to MAX soon to join the brand new Enviro 200s when they arrive with all other Solos going MAX to.

X209JOF (0860) is now Officially Withdrawn and X217JOF (0867) Is now here should enter Service tomorrow

Caego is also Expecting more '09' plated to Solos to which i presume from Bangor.

It's a bit ironic to have the smallest vehicles going MAX!

Well Wrexham depot only operates small such vehicles now such as the MPDs and Solos and then the Enviro 200s when they arrive so its not unexpected.

A shame with 860, it was quite active last Saturday when I saw it zooming towards Bymbo and indeed was the only MPD in use opposed to Solos a few Sundays back when in the aera. So all the batch of the X-JOF MPDs are now at Caego in service or withdrawn / stored.

Oh so the logic of the Solos not been repainted unlike the Chester and Bangor ones can be seen now. I cannot see Bangor releasing the 09 plate Solos as most have just been revised in the interurban fleet livery. Could the Solos perhaps be from elsewhere in ARRIVA?

We could always do a swap Conbus, 10 of our MPD's for 10 of your Solos

The only other '09' plate Solos I can find with Arriva are in the Midlands (2523-2530 which are M950, B31F) and (2513-2522 which are SRs, B26F)

Bangor are desperate for solos or mpds

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
Im going off what i have been informed by Caego them self, and yes all X-JOF MPDs are at Caego now, also Y37TDA (0877) is now here to. but like i said im going of what Caego have informed me regarding the Solos, i think its not really going to happen but thats what ive been informed and im passing that on to you guys.

Regarding X209JOF (0860) it was withdrawn due to its Axle breaking or something to do with the Axle which would cost us £2000 in fixing it so thats the only reason to why it has been withdrawn.
