Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor Depot

[BHA]

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor
Was in Llandudno for the weekend and went to Bangor on Saturday. I saw all 15 of the new Pulsars, 14 on the 5/X5 including 3178 which I missed at Llandudno in the summer and 3176 on the 4 to Holyhead. I was disappointed to see only 3 of the 5 ex-Leicester DAF DDs, 4186 and 4188 also on the 4/X4 and 4190 at the depot. No other DDs were visible. Could 4187 and 4189 have been in Holyhead outstation? I saw 5 buses on the 4/4A/X4 which were 2483, 2656, 3174, 4186 and 4188. I think it has a PVR of 6 so it is possible that one could have been the sixth bus on the route.

Incidentally it is a bit of a traipse down to the Bangor depot at the foot of the Llandygai Estate - must be a mile and a half round trip walk from the 5 bus stop at the entrance to the Estate! The dead mileage must be substantial compared to that involved when the depot was in the town. Guess that is what property prices bring about though the old depot site seemed not to be fully re-developed yet.
