I'm not surprised. It had a new engine and diff before it transferred to Green Lane last year

RE: Arriva North West/Arriva Buses Wales VDL Cadets
2496 is at Winsford

RE: Arriva North West/Arriva Buses Wales VDL Cadets
With fleet movements being crazy over the past week, can someone give me the rundown on where Cadets have exactly gone? The only one I know of currently are 2544/45 as well as some going into the pool, thanks in advance.

(I'm aware that 2544 isn't really a recent transfer)
