Drivers don't seem to take notice of most of the timings points. It leaves Chester and Corwen on time and then the other stops are just whenever it gets there, even if that's 5-10 minutes ahead of schedule.

I've been on the T8 a couple of times, Solo's & the StreeLite are order of the day because of a bridge on the route approaching Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, that has a 18t weight limit, & has a tight bend at one end of the bridge as well, that anything longer would get wedged in.

Mind you Solo's & StreetLites are the only buses M&H have anyway.

The point I was getting at (last year when I posted that) is it's another example of a bog standard interior on a bus with a Traws Cymru livery, when the aim of Traws Cymru was supposed to be premium quality. I didn't make any reference to the buses being too small.

The Cheshire Cat branded Enviro 200 MMCs that Warrington's Own Buses used to have are the exactly the same vehicle type as the ex-Cardiff Enviro 200 MMCs at D&G Bus. One type is well suited for longer journeys, the other is best suited to short hops from one side of town, to the other.
