That's still parked up in Rhyl depot but unsure what ever is going to happen with it.

4173 looks like it has met it's fate at Rhyl depot, still has an MOT until March but most likely not going to be used in Service anymore.

I’m pretty sure all of the DLPs have been withdrawn but I’m not sure if Rhyl are still using 4180?

Not to sure whether today will be the same but Winsford Depot had a problem with driver shortages yesterday (14/1) with reduced services on the following routes:

6 Leighton Hospital-Brookhouse
37 Wisford-Crewe
31A Crewe-Winsford
84 Crewe-Nantwich (Short workings, from what I can gather Chester services weren't affected)

From yesterday in the Chester Thread, 708 is due to come to Chester for the Wrexham services whilst Cadet 2518 is due here

Changes to Northwich services due to flooding:

However, it looks like one bus ventured in to the floods/got stuck in the floods

Does anybody know whether 84 Nantwich-Chester services were affected by the recent flooding and if so what diversion/s were the taking to/from Chester?

Seems to be running through today with no diversion.

Arriva are saying they'll be no buses to Northwich town centre until at least Monday.

I did wonder if Arriva saying the Barnton-Northwich 4 will terminate at the Police Station is correct but it appears they are sending buses around a huge diversion to get them from Winnington to Northwich

https://bustimes.org/vehicles/192968?date=2021-01-23#journeys/101416011 (I'm presuming the bus ran on the roads, despite the tracking making it appear like it bulldozed through houses to take a short cut.)

Unfortunately, it means no buses are serving the Victoria Infirmary though. Also the tracking looks like it might not be running down Winnington Avenue rather than Moss Lane, meaning it won't connect with the 1, 48 and CAT9A services terminating at Greenbank.
