RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
My personal opinion is GHA did the wrong thing by putting ex-Go Ahead Red Wright Renowns on the 45 and then replacing them with Metrocities which are red at the front and running buses 5 minutes ahead of Network Warrington. In doing so they made it look like their intention was to steal Network Warrington's passengers opposed to winning both Network Warrington's passengers and attracting new passengers.

If they had painted the Metrocities in say gold, ran them 30 minutes before/after Network Warrington's services but done marketing to highlight their fares are lower, they use new buses with wifi etc. they might have got less passengers initially but they might have done better in the long term.
