Quick note...2556 is only on loan until other buses are fixed I believe one or 2 are away at St Helens getting work done one may be 3144
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot - YN05 WKE - 05/08/2015 21:14
On loan to Chester is 0842 I had it on service X55/3A this evening
2434 and 2253 are withdrawn with 2208, 2233 and poss 2556 to follow on Saturday
Some newer buses are due at our depot at the weekend to replace these buses but not sure what or where from unfortunately

I had 2253 on Saturday with forum member YJ59 AZA and it sounded on its last legs then. Lucky I got it while I still had the chance

Indeed it's dead at back of yard with 2434 as we speak

Some intresting allocations at our depot today:
2620 on X44 whilst either 998 or 999 was on the 4
842 was on 12's
This afternoon due to a crash on A55 traffic diverted via Flint meaning 10/10A where delayed up to a hour at times
2208 and 0675 ended up being sent out to replace some stuck Enviro400's to keep the services going
4645 only went on X2 this afternoon after replacing a Volvo B7RLE (2796 IIRC)
Don't forget tommorow is your last chance to get a ride on X55 and current 3/3A as X55 will be withdrawn and from Monday 3/3A covers parts of it also from Monday X44 will become X4
It's not confirmed (so may not happen) but tommorow could be the last day of any darts or DAF Cadets at Chester possibly being replace by slightly newer buses but that's if it happens at all
Withdrawn already are 2434 and 2253 however 2208 was out today but not seen 2233 so unsure where it is and 2556 is on pits
Will keep you all posted
Thanks

Update
2208 and 842 are the last darts in service at Chester
2556 is getting fixed and apparently 2557 is due to come as 2 of the dart replacements with possibly 2 more extra buses due to arrive
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot - YN05 WKE - 09/08/2015 05:18
2208 had the honour of doing the last ever X55 last night
Note from tommorow (10th Aug 2016)
3/3A - No longer serves Bannel Lane instead it now serves dobshill and The Dirty Mile before reconnecting to the usual route at Jubilee Road...The times are changed
4/4A/4B/4S - Unchanged
X44 - Renumbered X4 route and times unchanged
X55 - Withdrawn ... See 3/3A
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot - YN05 WKE - 18/08/2015 15:42
2556 is out today on 3 or 4's and is now apparently allocated to our depot and not on loan
