Since the barriers were changed in Chester there is now a ticket machine inside of the barrier, which I have seen plenty of people use when they find the barriers are in operation, no need to exit to use a machine.

During my trips in the last month (various routes, days & times) the one which has consistantly been packed is the Holyhead-Birmingham, thankfully I have mostly used it between Wrexham & Chester so don't mind standing, there are always hoardes of people getting on & off at Chester on this...

I don't think any have been scrapped. LX09 BGV - Went to Cyprus LX09 BGK + BGU - Went to Associated Coach Sales (New Zealand) and this photo shows YJ08 PGO + LX09BGF at Ensign at the end of October

This one only runs one journey on the 3rd Saturday of each month Link

Theres another picture on the BBC now:

Interesting article on the BBC Website Includes a handy table of the timeframe of the refurbishments.

They are good if you only have one or two items which dont require assistance. I would never use one if I had about 5 or more items as it takes far too long for the dam thing to work, as others have said you can only do one thing at a time; scan, place item, wait about an hour for it to notice...

Just noticed that on the BBC website here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/mid/8543836.stm Arriva are 'disappointed' over the decision.

I dont know if its just me or does the 'red' look more pink than red? Also why did they do 67018 instead of 67029, surely that would of made more sense?

A 'double bill' is also on between 12:00 and 13:00 each day on Sky 3.

I dont know why they are branding it as an 'interchange' all it is is a bus stop outside the station, trying to make it sound bigger than it is.

To me it dosent even look real, more like a computer image. If it is based on a real train it looks more like a NY subway train.

There was a refurbished set in the bays at Wrexham this morning, with only a DVT on the north end, no 67 in sight.

Looks like it is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8288181.stm

That desk does look a bit of a squeeze I must say, Looks like it needs to be wider.
