Gwynfor Coaches
Hope this is ok on here? Gwynfors is a Welsh independent operator that is based in Anglesey and can be seen working around Anglesey and Gwynedd and as well they gain the Snowdon SHERPA contracts inbetween Pen y Pass.

I am usually the expert on knowing their fleet of vehicles and been taking aloud of photographs in different areas through on and see what goes on. For those who don't know about this new thread Ill tell you anything about them. This is only a short notice of what goes on with the operator, there vehicle wise are mainly Enviro 200s and Optare Solos and double deckers.

Thank you all for reading.

RE: Gwynfor Coaches, Anglesey
Just to keep you posted that Optare Solo SR KX15 BMV has recently got a new fleet logo and new vinyls its been out today on the 1Fs recently got it photo'd.

I have the feeling that all of their buses should have the same look as BMV once they take a few weeks to be done on one and then probably their double decker's should be the same before going onto the Snowdon SHERPAs this coming spring/summer.
