4405 will be moving to a depot in Wales, I was informed it would be Wrexham however Rhyl are rumoured to be in line for some.

I did like the Enviro400s when i first got on one now there just not the same hence why where getting Volvo B9Rs to replace them i have been on the Arriva Cymru ones there just amazing i cant wait to see them on liverpool routes

I think you'll find a Volvo B9R is a Coach... Volvo B5Ls are coming next year. The Arriva Cymru ones are VDL DB300s, completely different vehicles.

It's got a tacho fitted so I'd take an educated guess at it being on private hire work.

Yeah it was mate. It left the Pleasure Beach the same time as me and Ultralow did. (5.50pm)

I wouldnt go that far! Boring modern stuff!

I cant see the hybrids catching on with drivers myself, i dont particularly like the enviros but id rather they stayed - lovely heating at the front and fast.. everything that makes a driver happy!

865 has gone back to Winsford, 2344 is back in Laird Street including a sticker in the front window 'On hire to Arriva North West'

886 is parked at the back of the depot next to another MPD 819 (T569 JJC) This arrived today.
