RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
VBW846 captured working the Wales Rally Shuttle today. Also working was M200TPT DLG817
I have a website which looks at the bus and coach operators in North East Wales. There are current fleetlists for all operators and most have a full historic fleet list.
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

RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
UPDATE NOVEMBER 2014 In total there are now 7 vehicles on loan from East Cheshire County Council to operate the newly won contracts until the delivery of some 9 new vehicles in the spring of 2015. The full list is YJ54ZYA/B/C/D/E, YM52TPV and YM52TPY. The latter was not previously reported as transferring as there were problems with the vehicle and it did not go into service immediately. YM52TPV is the only vehicle that is not in the distinctive East Cheshire livery - being in plain white. It was last seen at the rear of Winsford depot not in service. New arrivals are : - KLZ1148 DAFSB3000 / Van Hool T8 Alizee C51Ft - previously J813KHD, 5711MT - new in May 1992 to Landtourers, Farnham, ex Craven Arms Coaches (Newton), Abcott. Shortly after arrival it was put up for on e-bay and appears to have been sold although it was still at Ruabon last week. CNZ3819 DAF SB3000 / Plaxton Premiere 350 C53F Previously regisered 01KE3747and Y927AJF - new in 2001 to Barton, Maynooth, Co Kildare, ex Veolia Cymru, ex Merlin's Coach Tours Ltd Swansea. It arrived with front end RTC damage - not clear whether to be repaired or used for spares. V33COF Mercedes Benz O814D / ACl C33F - New in Sept 1999 to Armstrong, Birmingham, ex Dave Walton Luxury Travel, Newcastle. Also arrived with front end RTC damage. Gaining new livery is R997FNW (DAF SB3000 / Van Hool Alizee T9) previously B19 DAF - ex Adams Tours, Walsall which has been given the standard GHA (silver) coach livery. It was acquired with significant front end accident damage and unusually has been repaired by an external contractor. Solo YJ06YSE now has GHA (low floor) livery and has commenced duties. Last week it was working from Macclesfield depot. NA04GHA has at long last lost its branding for the Neston local service. It carried this branding for over a year after the contract for running the service was lost. It has had a brief spell working the Mold - Ruthin corridor before returning to Winsford. Withdrawals appear to be: - M784RVY Bova Futura -seen recently at Ruabon with all of its seats removed. The 70 seater coach has been with GHA since 2009 and was new to Optare in 1995. P5GHA Mercedes 811D / Marshall has been seen having had its engine removed. New to West Midlands (fleet 231) as P231EJW in 1997 it joined the GHA fleet in 2006. Ron DLG817

RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
Of interesting note today (sat), there was a pair of the deebee branded solos YM52TPX & T314UOX both working #82 duties. Like the livery just they need an internal refresh to bring up to standard bit more. |

Lol, I was on YM52TPX, loads of walkers boarded the bus just outside Northwich and a gentleman complained about why there was small buses on the 82 on the Saturdays! :P |

It was T313 not T314 as 314 was on DB2's The 45 had R848PRG back on it today as AA55GHA was elsewhere The 11 tonight should be AA04GHA as it went out with the late driver tonight as NA04GHA became unavailable |
