ARRIVA Cymru: 4490 MX61 AUO, Bodelwyddan
In recent times the Arriva North West, Cheshire depot of Winsford and associated outstation of Macclesfield have come under the common management of Arriva Buses Wales (Arriva Cymru). One result of this has seen the three VDL DB300, Wright Gemini 2 deckers (4489-91) new for the 38 Crewe to Macclesfield move over to North Wales and in the allocation at Rhyl to join the native examples 4479-88. Alexander Dennis, E400's on the select J-ABW plates have gone the other way in exchange.
4490 is found on a 51 Rhyl to Denbigh, unknown to me it was coming as the Arriva Cymru fleet was not tracking on Bustimes on this day so a nice surprise, more so as I had passed sister 4489 on a X51 heading up the Vale, 4491 was ironically on the next working, a 51B and X51, so they were running three in a row in the morning out of Rhyl and in fleet number order!
Note the dead Elm tree in the background, a likely victim to Dutch Elm Disease.
