Newly acquired is YN03NDF Optare Solo M920 - New in March 2003 to Bailey, Blackburn, ex Cresswells, Moira, Derbyshire. It is being prepared for service in the Bryn Melyn garage but it is not confirmed yet that it will be part of their fleet when ready for service.

Solo V107LVH has finally received Bryn Melyn Vinyls having been in plain white since it joined the fleet 12 months ago. Photo here

Ex Arriva Dart S879SNB is now in GHA low floor livery and is being prepared for service. Clealry this and sister S878SNB were not purchased for spares as orginally reported.

Some of the GHA fleet has been on Olympic duties – 553UXP (CA01) has still got the evidence -photo here Others who have also been down to London are LF05WCT, AA06GHA (MC04), AA07GHA (MC05), 144UXB, AA08GHA (CA08), FJ08BYT and ED03GHA (CA16)

A Trident is shortly expected (no details yet known) which is being acquired due to increased requirements on the 82 Chester – Northwich route.

Ex Arriva Midlands H74DVM - Volvo B10M-60 / Alexander Belfast Q is being prepared for service (after being with GHA for over 2 years) and is having high capacity seats fitted donated by the now scrapped H278LEF. It has already received the yellow livery.

The experiment of the extension of the X36 from Ellesmere Port to Liverpool airport has ended and the service will revert soon to terminate at Runcorn.
