The former 51, X51 (Rhyl - Denbigh - Ruthin - Wrexham) services now run under the route number T51 and are part of the TrawsCymru network. The service is still being operated by Arriva Cymru. The principal change apart from the route number is that the frequency between Ruthin and Wrexham has reverted to hourly which is what the situation was prior to Covid.
The service has a PVR of 7 and next year a new fleet of TrawsCymru liveried double deckers are expected. In the meantime one StreetDeck 4725 (DG71VGT) has been transferred by Arriva from Merseyside to the Rhyl depot and has been given the TrawsCymru new livery. This is the first double deck vehicle to receive this livery. All other buses operating the new T51 service are from the Rhyl depot and will remain in Arriva livery until the new buses arrive next year.
On Monday 29th September this had been remedied and as can be seen it was displaying T51. However there clearly was an issue with the StreeDeck as throughout the day it was continually running late anything up to 45 minutes. None of the other vehicles suffered this problem. The StreetDeck was able to gain some time by not laying over but nevertheless each departure was late.
Today (30th September) it has not appeared so it is presumed any problem is being addressed.
