Arriva tribute to Queen and new services in Wrexham

 Some of the Wrexham depot buses of Arriva Cymru have had a tribute to the late Queen added to the front destination blind.


I was pleased to see that the new services planned for today were operating reasonably well - but it was noticeable that there did not appear to be a spare bus at King Street and I believe there was at least one breakdown.  Apart from the change of frequency for some of the routes there was also a change of bus stands for a number of the services.  Each stand had  a correct timetable for the new services departing and Arriva had prepared some timetable leaflets that appeared to be available on the buses and at certain places in the bus station.


The new Stockwell Grove 42 route.  

The new (or to be correct - the revived) 44 Barkers Lane service.  Apparently there is no Garden Lane and the via should probably have been Garden Village,


The 'H' suffix on this service had been introduced to make it clear that the service runs past the Maelor Hospital.
