Following on from what has so far been reported the following is my observations from today - (1st June 2016) the date of the new Shrewsbury contracts.

Despite the advance reports in the trade and local press and the information in the N & P's that GHA have registered the 21, 23 and 26 Shrewsbury local services starting today these services were actually still being operated today by Arriva Midlands.

GHA were operating the 511 Shrewsbury - Whitchurch service and the three vehicles employed were MetroCity's YJ15AWN, YJ15AWO and Versa MX58KZF.

Operating the 576 Shrewsbury to Oswestry and/or Baschurch was Volvo/Renown R217HCD and Solo LJI8023

Operating the 501 Shrewsbury to Ellesmere was Dart SF04ZXC and Volvo/Merit GA04GHA

Opertaing the 436 Shrewsbury to Bridgnorth were Volvo/Renown R839PRG and Dart AA52GHA.

Working the 96 Shrewsbury - Telford was Mercedes Sprinter WX13VMA. As this vehicle did not have a ticket machine I believe passengers were given a free ride.

Later in the afternoon AA04GHA arrived at Shrewsbury depot to supplement the fleet there.
