As the 375 & 385 are Southport depot routes they will be included in the Sefton Franchise, whenever the bidding commences and the successful company is announced.
Are you implying Arriva intend to compete with whoever wins the Franchise on those routes?

Purely to clarify. The 375 and 385 are NOT part of the franchising. This has been clarified umpteen times by Merseytravel and has been reported on this forum and on many other forums/groups too.

Enviro 400City CX17BYC (1002) has now left Wrexham for P&P at Derby before onwards to it's new home at Milton Keynes

Pulsar MX13ALO (3873) will return to Wrexham in its place which i assume will return to being 3147.

First of the brand new Enviro200MMCs is expected to arrive today also, with the arrival of those we're also expecting one more Pulsar alongside (3878/3147) which will arrive when the next City departs.

Edit : confirmed that MX13ALO is renumbered back to 3147.

Its a shame to see the deckers go, hard to believe they are 9 years old now.

What is Wrexham's fleet expected to look like after these changes?
If were loosing 13 deckers, gaining 9 MMCs and 2 Pulsars, thats a reduction of 2 full size vehicles, but I'm sure there will be a lot to play out over the course of the next few months

So we'll be getting 3 Pulsars from Midlands (3147 the first of course), 9 new E200MMCs and then 1 Solo SR which covers the 13 City's
