I have received the following comments from Stephen Bryce at GHA Coaches who would like to correct some incorrect information on posts, he has tried to join the forum so that he can provide factual and non-commercially sensitive posts but has been told the forum is not accepting any new members.

1) The ex D&G Optare Solo's are now owned by GHA Coaches Ltd along with YM52 TPV which is undergoing a full refurbishment. Once all new vehicles enter service YJ54 ZYA - ZYF will be allocated to Macclesfield Depot to give the Depot a more standard fleet.

2) At present the company has not received any grants for fitting Wi-Fi to buses.

3) The PVR of the Beartown service is 2 buses.

4) The reduction in frequency on service 5 is part of a larger change on service 5/2v. Basically Service 2v is withdrawn and replaced by service 5c which will operate every 20 minutes giving a combined 5/5c of every 10 minutes between Plas Madoc - Ruabon - Johnstown - Wrexham. Service 5 extensions to Corwen are withdrawn due to low patronage and customers can use service T3 which is now nearly hourly with two additionally journeys between Wrexham and Corwen provided by new service 94. The PVR of the new number 5 is 8 buses which will be SB120's and they will be repainted into a new livery similar to the GHA Gold but with Green replacing the Gold and a thicker white strip separating the colours. If this change is successful then it will receive new buses in 2016.
