I was wondering if someone could answer me this question. its about adverts. I think 2631 has been in Bangor for nearly 2 years, and since its left chester still displays a cancer van advert for the north west. Also for the last 18 montha 2912,13,14 all have cancer adverts too which look pretty messy esp 2914 which has half a back window stuck on and a panel off the lights, Im guessing this si caused to possible the bus wash or the rear compartment or accident damage. However, how can they keep adverts this long, or is that down to the sub contracting advertisng company??

All card adverts (the ones on the rear or side in the holders) have a certain amount of time to be left one. An external company then come and change them over. The all over ads, be it the whole bus or the whole rear end tend to have a much longer period of time to be displayed, normally as the cost to the company advertising on the bus will be much higher. I do agree though there seems to be no repair programme in place to repair damaged adverts.

i remember rhyl a few years ago had vision express ones, and they seemed a bit tired after a while

Lot of diversions in Bangor due to fallen trees on deiniol road and love lane with a temporary traffic light set up. Routes X5/5/78/6/7l/7a/78 instead of turning right out of the bus station turn left heading straight on towards Asda , then passed lidl up towards the train station and a right turn into Bangor passing the old post office, now for those of you who know Bangor its an absolute nightmare.

Has anybody seen 2331 lately please? Visited Llandudno and Bangor on Monday but there was no sign of it anywhere. Of interest, coach 0002 was on the 75.


RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Bangor - cx04axy - 11/01/2015 17:56

2331 was planned to be withdrawn in February from what i heard last year (but wasnt very well in november from when it was last seen in service. Im not sure if it has left the fleet as yet as other vechiles are coming in to replace it. (unknown what vechile/s it is). I thought with the pulsar cascade from sources ive heard that it Bangor were to have some due to some shortages on Anglesey routes, but on this occasion didnt seem to be the case.

Is 0002 based here then?
