RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
Although many older Solos and Dart SLFs would not be DDA compliant, most if not all are unaffected by these changes as it only applies to buses where the maximum gross weight is 7.5t and below. Since a typical 8.5m Solo is around 6.3t unladen, these do not come under this DDA round, they will be affected from the start of next year. The same applies to the Dart SLFs, they are too heavy on their MGW to be categorised under this round of DDA changes. Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

So I thought that GHA's T,V,W and X plate Solo's and T and V plate MPD's would not meet DDA without some modification to the wheelchair backrest and the wheelchair ramps. I believe also that Alexander Darts Y201KNB and VX51PZM are not compliant also which unless they have recently been modified should all in theory be removed from service if they are under 7.5 tonnes. There are vehicles as old as 02 plate that aren't to DDA spec, usually down to not having a suitable wheelchair ramp. I think many vehicles will need some retrofitting to comply in readiness for next January. |

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

I don't recall 3 double decks and 1 single being an option when the service went out to tender. It's a shame that Gwynedd CC are letting them do that. I'd imagine capacity problems at times during the summer peak where passengers are expecting a double decker and a saloon appears. |

Nothing new for Wrexham (except the T3)? bit of a joke that is to be quite honest. |
