From the news reports alongside the photos in the local media it certainly looks a write off but time will tell:

Some years ago, 2333 T563 JJC sustained similar damage on the 94 Wrexham to Barmouth and after review was scrapped due to the chassis been damaged. It was around the same age as 2650 is now is not a little newer.

I'm guessing LJ51 DDA was referring to the Solo rather than the Pulsar in his post

Nasty accident there but remember D Jones Versa YJ59NMZ? Pulsar seems to have received very similar damage to what that did but then it does depend on whether it has a bent chassis or not, only time will tell!

Interestingly 2650 is still taxed and not showing up as SORN is it being repaired?

Is anything due to come and replace it if not?

Also while we are on the subject of 2650 what’s the situation with 687 & 4190?

I have asked my friend who lives in this area and has told me 4190 is Withdrawn as its Engine has given up
He also says 687 is long Term VOR but is returning
2519 is also on loan here from Rhyl.
