This service was previously part of the 40 Mold to Wrexham (via Nercwys, Treuddyn, Ffrith, Cymmau, Abermorddu) service which has in the past been operated by GHA Coaches and more recently Townlynx. After Townlynx ceased operating the service Flintshire County Council contracted Wrexham and Prestige Taxis to run the service but it was limited to four journeys only as far as Hope with anyone wishing to travel onwards to Wrexham having to catch a bus or train at Caergwrle. A 16 seat minibus was used with step entrance and no provision for wheelchairs or buggies. It is also understood that the capacity of the minibus was not sufficient at times. Not only are P and O Lloyd using a suitable vehicle but they are displaying a clear destination. The bus being used is one of the batch of five owned by the Council and operated by P and O and they are mainly used on the Deeside Industrial Estate services. <Photo a> - <Photo b> Of course the LT7 upgrade from 55 plate rusty Transit to a 'proper bus' has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the Councillor for both the Treuddyn & Llanfynydd wards on the route just happens to be 'Cabinet Member for Streetscene & Transportation'.... Meanwhile other areas are left without any service and most of the Countys' bus stop infrastructure is in complete disarray. |
