This firm is a regular visitor to Wrexham mainly on the X5 Corwen service. Yesterday (27th March) the vehicles seen in Wrexham included Solos LJI3740 and (ex GHA) YJ54ZYE working the X5 service, VDL / Hispano Carrocera LJ11LLJ LINK and Scania / Higer SJ15LLJ LINK working Rail Replacement. Perhaps the most interesting visitor was JIW297 a Dennis Javelin / UVG. This vehicle, a 70 seater, is normally used on schools and started its life with the Royal Navy. PHOTO LINK
