Hi Macaulay, has 838 Y538 VFF and 852 Y552 UJC bitten the dust at Caego? Would have expected them to live a little longer as are DDA certified. I have seen 878/9 Y38/39 TDA still knocking around the last week, they can't have long left, despite Y reg they are not DDA sadly.

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
Y538VFF is still on the road, completely slipped my mind when i wrote the previous post, yeah Y552UJC is Temp W/D as it might be brought back to life like 0849, 0879/9 are staying on the road till January so they say.

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
Had a quick nose from some public vantage points into Caego, Wrexham on today (06/09) to check on the stock out of use:

Compound (* indicates robbed of parts, others stored complete or await workshop attention):
*860 X209 JOF
*867 X217 JOF
*868 X218 JOF
*872 Y32 TDA
*877 Y37 TDA
*901 V432 DGT
*903 V434 DGT
913 X244 PGT
919 LJ51 DDA
*2219 X219 ANC
2557 Y21 BLU
*2351 V581 DJC
*2431 X431 HJA
2437 X437 HJA [X43 Bangor on blind]

Dead line on side fence (all missing parts and been sitting here for a long time, 823 V553 ECC has departed since my last report):
832 X272 RFF
851 Y551 UJC
863 X213 JOF (rear fire damage)
865 X215 JOF
866 X216 JOF

Top corner from side fence:
861 X211 JOF (missing parts)
862 X212 JOF (appears to be used as a seat store / parts store)
886 Y46 TDA (missing parts)
+ on unidentified due to angle, suggestive it would be 864 X214 JOF but cannot confirm.

As a side note I understand, I'm reliabilly informed 852 Y552 UJC is now stored at the St Helens bodyshop.

Hope of interest
Chris

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot
LJ51DDA (0919) is in for some work doing will find out more on that (watch this space)

All others are withdrawn and X437HJA (2437) is a Temp W/D can be used when required.

Can definitely confirm its X214JOF (0864)

Y552UJC (0852) is actually supposed to be getting some work done and due to return like Y549UJC (0849) but it could also be donating parts to the Temp W/D of LJ51DCY (0917) which there is still no confirmation on whether completely withdrawn but Y552UJC (0852) is definitely at SH.

Thanks Macaulay for confirming 864, it looked to be from where I looked but couldn't get a confirmed ID at the time. I guess both MPDs away are on borrowed timed with the likes of 841 and 851 already been dead. As a side note I saw 826 V556 ECC still lingering on in service in Llandudno on Saturday, looked good!

I see all bar one of the Enviro200's were busy in use on the Sunday services

Indeed CX57CYU (0664) was picked up upon CX09BGYs arrival back so 0664 is next to be done.
