Following the recent demise of Silcox, the outstation in Tenby seems to have been taken over by Edwards (see photo below).
I have not yet seen any Edwards vehicles parked there, though; the area seems to be being used as a general coach park for visiting coaches on daytrips.

14 #Yutong full electric city buses have been sent to the UK. The buses are expected to arrive in July. They will be put into operation in Newport, Wales. This is the first time a sizable volume of Chinese full electric CBU buses has been exported to the #UK. #Emobility #Evs

Seems like there's been a bit of an outbreak at Arriva's Wrexham depot

(09 Feb 2022, 10:07 am)Adrian The only issue I have with it, is that it is very short-term thinking. I am not convinced that people using a bus for free for a couple of weeks in the run up to Christmas (or even during the month of March) will lead to long-term modal shift.On one hand, I can see the positives behind the free travel. Whether it is in Newport or Harrogate. However, the free travel is only as good as the network that surrounds it.
In the Christmas example, it was in place of free parking or other parking incentives being available, but when it reverts back to being bus fares vs parking charges, then people will continue to park every time. I'm not against not offering free or discounted parking, but I disagree with those who keep calling for parking to be more expensive to (force) move people to bus.
Harrogate seem to have a more long-term vision with theirs, albeit limited, by offering free travel on their electric fleet every Sunday. It'd be interesting to see how successful that has proven to be in modal shift though.
