It was new in May 2003 to Wallace Arnold Coaches, has been with Shearings, National Holidays and more recently with Derighetti & Robertson, Kirkcaldy - PHOTO Bova MNZ1193 has gone to Davies Motors, Ruthin for breaking. Also going to the same dealer is LUI7863 (DAF SB3000 / Van Hool) D Jones and Son, Acrefair Today (5th October 2017) the business was called to a Public Inquiry by the Traffic Commissioner. The outcome is that the partners have been given a warning after certain undertakings were given. The Transport Manager - Gary Jones has not lost his 'repute' although Nick Jones, the Commissioner, indicated it had been 'tarnished' It appears that the issue related to administration matters mainly involving the way in which maintenance records were being maintained. The Vehicle Examiner giving evidence indicated from the inspections he conducted that he was satisfied that the vehicles had been 'well maintained'. DLG817

RE: Operators based in North East Wales
. Electric Bus on demonstration with M & H, Trefnant, Denbigh. OP02ARE is an Optare Solo M890EV (all electric) demonstrator. From today M and H is trialling this vehicle. It was seen today working the 66 Henllan and Denbigh town services but it is believed that it will also see use on the 76 Denbigh - Llandyrnog - Ruthin - Graigfechan service. Last week this vehicle was with Lloyds of Machynlleth. It was originally registered YJ13HKY when the vehicle was new to Optare in July 2013. No doubt its appearance in the area follows the announcement by the government in August that £11 million is to be given between six local authorities under the government’s ‘Low emission bus scheme’ to help them buy 153 cleaner buses. Denbighshire is set to receive £500,000 of this pot and is expected to provide four electric buses to be used in the mid part of the County.
