The vehicle was noted being driven to Wrexham depot around lunchtime today on the A55. Its stay is no more than a flying visit, with either 2299 or 2300 (of which both are being used currently by Aberystwyth) being brought back to Wrexham depot for further use and 2511 making the return journey to the coast. 2511 is certainly looking resplendent and should be once more serving Aberystwyth shortly.

Wrexham depot continues to be the holding depot for withdrawn vehicles from across the North Western and Welsh fleets. Those currently present are:

Alexander ALX200 bodied Dart SLF's; 2302-5, 2308, 2309, 2312.
Marshall Capital bodied Dart SLF's; 7612, 7614.
Plaxton Pointer 2 bodied Dart SLF; 2131.
MPD's; 810-14, and a heavily cannibalised 804 awaits collection for scrap.
DAF ALX400; 4025, awaiting engine attention.

DAF SB220GS/Plaxton Prestige 2400 is also on-site minus engine & gearbox, despite previous claims of the vehicle being dispatched for scrap from Bolton depot.

Quick question, how visible are all of these, please?? I note from Google streetview that there is a (public?) path the goes up the side of the depot and might have a brief trip down next week for a few pics if it's worth my while!

Ta in advance
