As usual GHA will be operating a every 15 minutes service in a clockwise direction, serving Llandyrnog, Llangynhafal, Hendrerwydd, Llanbedr DC, Graigfechan, Llanfair, Ruthin, Rhewl and Llanrhaeadr. Buses with around 40 seats will be used. L409 NUA and R817 OYS arrived at Ruthin on Monday, i assume that they'll be used. Like every year K772/781 DAO will most likely be used. I think 2 more buses are needed but im not sure what they'll be

Two of the former Brighton Volvo B10BLE's did work the service - photos of R217HCD and R230HCD

Unfortunately R219HCD which I believe is now in GHA livery didn't make an appearance.

The others working the service were K772DAO, K781DAO, L408NUA, N9GHA and SN04EFU. This was a very popular event and most departures from Ruthin were full loads with sometimes passengers having to wait 15 minutes for the next bus. Interesting to see a security person (riding shotgun !!! ) on each journey.
