I believe two of them have been working from Macclesfield for the last week or two and that the other two will move over shortly (after Easter). Joe Henshaw owns several 'yards' on the southern side of Moss Lane, one of which is occupied by an extensive commercial waste transfer operation, and is difficult to access. Another One was previously let to Holmeswood Coaches as an out station. I'll keep an eye out for which one the GHA vehicles relocate to.

As X comes before Y in the alphabet, one might reasonably expect these to be reversed, i.e. TPY to be 1325 and TPX to be 1324. Is this an error or intentional? Thats a valid point, its an error on my part. I will change it round.

ARRIVA Midlands, Oswestry depot have a new timetable coming into play as showing on the website for 30th March showing an extra bus in the morning on some Cefn Mawr shorts to give 5 buses an hour until just after lunchtime and then dropping back. I seem to recall Vale Travel had retimed the 2V to operate just ahead of ARRIVA on a number of ocassions over the years. I would not expect Oswestry depot to let GHA walk all over them as they did prevent Bryn Melyn taking the 53 by doing it commercially and the 2/2A/2C their main operation. RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others) - wirralbus - 27/03/2015 11:51 Are GHA with there expanding network getting themselves in a position to be a takeover target ?

It's rumoured Stagecoach were once interested in buying GHA. Although, with Stagecoach having moved in to the Chester area and GHA serving Greater Manchester I think if Stagecoach were to acquire GHA they would be forced to sell off part of the operations. GHA do operate some services which Arriva used to operate but lost interest in because they weren't making enough money (like the 82 route.) While First seem to be scaling back bus operations rather than expanding. But then the likes of Rotala, Centrebus, Transdev, Wellglade Group may be interested? Or a joint venture between two companies?

One of these is on the 27 Knutsford-Macclesfield service today. I'm not 100% sure on what the last letter of the registration was though.
