Oswestry had one of the onetime Bryn Melyn drivers with GHA until the end in place and working the 576 within a week.

That is awful that is i know its better than no bus at all but to run it with a timetable like that is disgusting, pretty sure if Arriva get the Service they will sort that out from every hour to something like that for such a route is quite extreme, surely just every two hours would of been the better option.

I seem to recall that prior to the hourly GHA service it only operated on market days.

Update to the below from a check on 20/08, PVS have cleared all of the below list except 904 and 2351 that are the only remaining examples in store.
838 appears to have departed, can anyone confirm to PVS for scrap or store elsewhere?

Is there any info on new deckers for the 1? It was mentioned on here a while ago and recently in a routeONE article, but little to nothing has been mentioned about them (type, amount, etc). Anyone here know anything?
RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Wrexham Depot - LJ51 DDA - 02/09/2016 18:17
The type is supposedly Enviro 400MMCs
