Following the withdrawal of Arriva from the commercial service Gwynedd County Council tendered the service for a six month contract and this was won by GHA. Unfortunately there was only a very short period (2 weeks) from confirmation of the contract until the beginning of the operation today. The service is initially being operated from Ruabon with quite a bit of dead mileage. It is believed that attempts are being made to find a suitable outstation and then two vehicles may be based in the Dolgellau area.

I personally think that the Volvo B7RLE is a well suited allocation for such route, even though I sampled both the Volvo B7RLE and VDL SB120 yesterday I still thought the Volvo B7RLE was under less stress whilst charging down the country lanes etc.
