Some GHA Group news
Two new arrivals are FN09AMX and FN09APY – Volvo B7R / Plaxton C70F with wheel chair lifts. They are both ex Woodstones of Kidderminster and join four other similar models from the same stable. (FJ06BNX, FJ06BNY, FJ08BYG and FJ08BYT)
P323HOJ - Dennis Dart SLF /Plaxton B37F (ex Arriva Midlands) has been obtained for spares
NA04GHA – SL07 Solo is the choice for the new Monday, Wednesday and Friday – 23 Neston Connect service. It has received appropriate branding. (Photo available –see below).
YJ04BVD - DAF SB120 / Wright Cadet (exSwansea City) has received Llangollen Express livery and is being prepared for service (Photo available –see below). No decision yet known of the livery for the other two examples.
All the above can be seen on my Flikr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/gha-group-photos/ - The main list shows the most recently added photos but the sets are in alphabetical – registration order.

CA05GHA the Vale liveried Dart often works the C89 service on Wednesdays which entails its presence in Northwich for about an hour in the late morning. It was also seen by me at Tarvin depot at about 16.00.
I did not see them but I believe VX51RBO, Y201KNB and DA04GHA were used on the Show Shuttle - may have been others.

Dont Like The placement Of The logo Above The Reg...
It looks really stupid and so does the destination gear. Some people may not be able to read the destination on that.

The 5th Annual Route 76 Beer Festival is taking place this afternoon (Saturday) involving a number of pubs in the villages of Llandyrnog, Llangynhafal, Hendrerwydd, Llanbedr, Graigfechan, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd and Llanrhaeadr. GHA are running a 15 minute service linking these villages to Ruthin following mainly the old 76 Denbigh to Ruthin (back roads) service.
The following vehicles are currently being used: - Y201KND (SB54), T510APS (SB46), VX51RBO (SB53), K772DAO (SB27), T549HNH (SB47), and N8GHA (SB38) with L408NUA (SB29) acting as a spare vehicle.
A lot of skill is being employed by the drivers to make their way through the very narrow lanes and I counted at least 11 reversing manoeuvres by T510APS to negotiate a very tight turning within the village of Llandyrnog. One or two of the buses now also have additional decorations attached to their bodywork involving small branches etc.
Loadings of the buses appeared very good and the pubs were certainly busy – most of which had special marquees and additional catering arrangements in place.
This sort of venture must be a “win – win” on many levels and the organisers must be congratulated.

Weird !!! I have no photo unfortunatley as I was driving. I saw it on two seperate occasions at 1432 and 1512 and I am almost certain it was RBO. I await to see the photo - apologies if I am wrong - it was certainly a Dart / Alexander.
