A few odd working today. Vale Travel liveried Dart R175VLA having a run to Whitchurch. East Cheshire liveried Solo YJ59GHA working the 5 - Llangollen and the TrawsCymru liveried Enviro200 was working the 5C to Cefn Mawr. - PHOTO LINK
Thanks Ron I just couldn't tell which one it was, I'm told also that GHA have started sending buses to be painted by local body shops and paint shops as the paint shop in Ruabon has had a big waiting list for a while

Full new 27 bus timetable: http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/pdf/public-transport/27-27a-27b-27x-bus-timetable.pdf A couple of services are timed slightly differently to the times I got from Traveline the other day.

GHA was involved In another Bus Crash today, this time with the new TrawsCymru T3 service in Barmouth.
See http://www.dailypost.co.uk/incoming/pensioner-taken-hospital-after-barmouth-9762567
What's with GHA recently, all 3 Double Deckers for the T3 has been bashed alongside other incidents recently.
E.g The Fatal Crash involving the company's Solo in Wrexham in April

Can I just clarify a few details about recent accidents before people start making assumptions,
Firstly only one of the new T3 deckers has been involved in accidents (3 of them), two of them were not the drivers fault and involved a third party and the company has sufficient evidence to defend its case which is being pursued by our insurer's.
The tragic fatal accident in April in Wrexham was caused to by two cars racing each other around a blind bend which caused the car on the wrong side of the road to have a head on impact with our bus. CCTV and vehicle telematics show that our driver was driving at an appropriate speed for the road and conditions and the driver who was injured in the crash has been told by North Wales Police that he was not to blame and faces no charge, he is only required as a witness.

CN57 EFD looks very smart in the revised livery, the sister vehicle was still in use on the 576 yesterday in Oswestry in Bryn Melyn livery. Is it known if the 501/576 and 96 will retain a regular group of vehicles allocated? I assume the 96 is still been worked of the backend of the 501/576 or is this now operated from Shrewsbury depot along with the 436? Are there plans for the 501 and 576 to be operated from Shrewsbury opposed to Ruabon longer term?

Chris

Hi all,
Can posters be careful what they post on threads about operators as we know many of the companies have some form of presence on here and are very mindful of incorrect information being posted.
Thanks

The Winsford Town Council subsidy for the X22 Winsford-Liverpool bus has been withdrawn. GHA are to continue running the bus for now but are according to the Winsford Guardian they are planning to withdraw it unless passenger numbers increase.

Services not running on the 27 route again today. The 0930 from Macclesfield didn`t run and the driver of the other bus had no idea what had happened. A few passengers suggested a bus failure as that`s normally the reason given when services don`t run on that route.

Alternatively, the rostered driver could have called in sick.
