As the 5 is registered as a local bus service presumably the TC can issue a penalty for not providing the required 56 days notice whether there were any prebooked passengers or not
LX12BGY was outside Wrexham general at 11.48 load 2 and LX12BDE at 13.32 empty, departing shortly afterwards - assuming the timetable posted there is current the first may have been waiting time, but I couldn't weigh up the second.

Manchester Airport - Manchester
Run by EasyBus. Route withdrawn.
Just come across a post on Facebook.
"we have just been awarded our first local bus tender to operate service 64 from Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, Glyn Ceiriog & Chirk to Llangollen for Wrexham County Borough Council from 1st April 2017. #teameasybus"
Seems Tanat have been screwed over.

Nothing surprises me with Wrexham Council anymore.

Indeed it seems they'll do anything to keep some form of GHA around and lurking, it really does bug me!
Indeed. I hope the Council don't do the dirty on D. Jones & son as well and award Easybus other tendered routes like the 6 & 146 from April 1st.

They'd probably award a contract to a farmer who intends to use a horse and cart instead of a bus if he offers to run the service for less than the bus operators.
The removal of the post about 'Easybus' winning the contract suggests to me either the news was premature or someone's challenged Wrexham BC about the award.
