Operators based in North East Wales

RE: Operators based in North East Wales

P and O Lloyd / Flintshire County Council
The programme has started of applying a special Flintshire County Council livery to the fleet of 5 Solo SRs belonging to the Council that P and O Lloyd are operating on their behalf on the Deeside Industrial Park services. This change of livery is being undertaken over a period of time as it is understood that the contractor carrying out the work is travelling from south Wales. The green background has been applied by wrapping vinyl over the white based paintwork of the buses. <photo 1> <photo-rear>.

During a recent visit it was noted that all of the ex Irish Volvo / Wright buses are not in use. The only deckers apparently in use are Trident KU02YBP (used on a Chester Catholic school contract) and Olympian S260KLG. Enviro 200 YX17NZA is the normal vehicle allocated to the 28 Mold to Flint service but sibling YX17NZB is normally the spare bus and will be used on this service on occasions.
Ex GHA Dart CN04NLP is no longer in use and is currently donating parts to sibling CN04NLL although it may be possible for it to be returned to service.
SV55FJP Volvo B7R / Plaxton Profile is currently being painted into the green livery and is expected to see use in September.

GHA Coaches – dispersal (Davies Motors)
In February 2019 Davies Motors of Ruthin purchased a number of vehicles from the former Express Motors fleet including ex GHA NA04GHA, A15GHA (W677DDN) and T289UOX. To date NA04GHA and A15GHA have been scrapped. T289UOX is currently at Betws Gwerfil Goch and it is probably going to be scrapped soon. MB Sprinters /AVG WX54PWV and Y993UUM(T2ETT) have been sold to Eric Commercials with a view to possibly rebuilding one of these. They have not yet been collected.
