RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others)
Bidding is currently underway for the new 289 and 10A contracts in Cheshire East. Interesting to note the new 289 contract will require a bus with at least 35 seats, meaning it won't be possible to use a standard Solo or 8.8m Dart, which are the only two type of buses I've ever seen GHA use on it since they won the contract from Swans (who usually used a small Enviro 200.) GHA were the only operator to bid for the 10A last time after D&G (who had acquired the route via the acquisition of Bakerbus) decided not to try and retain the contract.
