Howevere Solos YJ59GHB, YJ59GHD, YJ59GHG and DK09ENW are at Winsford. DLG817

Included are current depot fleet lists for Arriva Cymru. There are also a number of ceased opertators with historic fleet lists including the GHA Group The address and a link is www.Ronsbusesandcoaches.com

I cannot quite work out what the boxes on the timetables are though: perhaps they are the workings which will be doubled-up (for schools and colleges)? I also cannot see why working 1 takes an inordinately lengthy break at Dolgellau (1826 to 2005), destroying what would otherwise have been an hourly evening service -- but maybe this just has to happen for operational reasons or something like that. |

RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
Timetables for most of the new Cheshire East services are on Traveline North West. A brief summary as far as I know: * 8A (Crewe) has new evening journeys between Crewe and Sydney operated by GHA. * 27/27A/27B (Vale) has 3 return journeys added to the timetable, in addition to the current journeys which are slightly retimed. It seems likely these will be operated by a vehicle in betweeen school runs. Therefore possibly Mon-Fri only. * 39 has route changes and earlier and later buses added. Now serves Weston, but no longer the Clonners Field Estate in Nantwich. * 42 transfers to GHA from D&G with minor retiming of services and removal of loop serving Grand Junc Retail Park and the railway station in Crewe. * 53 (Nantwich town) is cancelled and replaced by extended service 6 (D&G Bus). * 78 evening and Saturday journeys transfer to GHA. * 88 becomes half-hourly. * 90/91 (Congleton) transfer to GHA with half-hourly frequency throughout the day (currently some gaps). * 92 (Congleton) transfers to GHA and now operates Monday - Saturday half-hourly. May also be changes to 72/73/75 but not sure what these are yet. Hope this helps. |

RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
(07/10/2014 06:13)M60lad Wrote: 4> What's the current allocation to both Winsford and Tarvin Depot's I have found that it is impossible to keep an up to date depot allocation - mainly because there is a very rapid exchange of vehicles between depots. The main reason being that most of the maintenance of vehicles is undertaken at Ruabon and therefore there is usually a rotation during inspections and when repair work is undertaken. My observation and understanding of 'service' vehicles at Winsford recently are :- 4 x Cheshire East liveried vehicles YT59GHB, YT59GHD, YT59GHG and DK09ENW 2 x GHA(low floor) Solos recently seen X319CBT (working Ruabon yesterday) and LJI8023 2 x low floor service buses – R838/9RPG (not confirmed these are Winsford vehicles) 1 x non low floor service bus - N8GHA Coaches (including midi coaches) at Winsford this week:- 144XUB, 6052VT, ASV257, BP52XAE, DA04GHA, G410YAY, HIB967, M784RVY, M905OVR, R636RSE, R979PRD, UKZ5466, YN54OAU, YN54OAW Minibuses this week at Winsford were:- KE04JUY, KF02ZSO, WX05XVN, WX54PWV Service buses which have been at Tarvin recently are : - AA04GHA, BA56GHA, B10PTL, CA53GHA (at Ruabon on Monday), GA04GHA, MX58KZF, NA04GHA, R226HCD, R503JFE (at Ruabon on Monday), R504JFE, SK02TYS, SN03DZZ, SN04EFT, SN04EFV, T314UOX, T510APS, X9GHA, YJ04BVB, YJ59GFX, YJ59GFY, YJ59GHA, YM52TPO, YM52TPU, YM52TPX (working Ruabon on Monday), Non low floor Deckers which were at Tarvin this week :- 1810VT, 4051VT, 8701VT, G627EKA, K129DAO, K130DAO, K656UNH, L602NOS, M168GRY, N621KUA, N622KUA, R371DJN, R638MNU, S644KJU Low floor Deckers which have been seen at Tarvin recently :- V220MEV, W465WGH, W469BCW, W471WGH Single deck school vehicles at Tarvin:- P5VLT, 9509VT AGAIN I will repeat that the above is simply based on my observations and cannot be held to be a reliable depot allocation list.
