Wonder who aquired that RE: GHA Group (Bryn Melyn, Vale Travel + Others) - Mayneway - 16/07/2016 06:55 According to a couple of comments to an online post regarding GHA, they were apparently wound up by HMRC after failing to pay a large tax bill (very similar to Ace Travels fate in Liverpool the other year). All drivers received a text at around 3pm which read ' I sorry to report GHA Coaches will cease trading tonight plz attend depot meeting 10AM tomoz, ALL wages holidays will be paid' - yes it was written like that lol. Apparently some drivers are angry because days earlier there was speculation on social media that the company had asked local authorities to arrange replacement operators for services they ran on their behalf, but management were quick to dismiss the specualtion. What a mess.

No confirmation of the last bus times though. That route did used to be operated by North Western/Arriva Wythenshawe between the mid-90s and 2009 as the 288 route after North Western acquired Starline Travel who had depots in Knutsford and Wythenshawe which was run by Simon Fawett, who now owns Mistral.

It's just a case of how quickly the council's and operators move. Our first day on 289 we didn't charge. Council had no faretable as gha had not supplied the council with one.

Council had no faretable as gha had not supplied the council with one. If it's any help the maximum return fare GHA charged on Cheshire routes was £5, which was the same price as their day ticket. Their single fares were all over the place though, I think they just had a random number generator to create them! |
