But to be fair to them they have been revamping the interior on some buses like the B&H B10BLE's and some solos have had the treatment like V395 KVY, but I will agree a lot need tidying up mainly the Darts if we're honest!

The darts & the plaxton president deckers look very worn now. Plus a proper uniform for ALL drivers would look much smarter.

Sorry to whine but when there's drivers in t-shirts or jeans it gives a rly bad image to passengers!

Indeed yes, i simply can not wait to see the Darts in the revised livery looking forward to seeing one the smartest Dart in the fleet at the moment is LG02FFJ very good Dart that one is to.

I agree %100 on the Uniforms etc...definitely something they should look in to doing.

Any news if GHA are going to show off the new vehicles for the T3. Like what they did in Congleton for the GHA Gold and the Beartown Bus Network

I've been informed that ex-Ace Travel Optare Solo M920 MX53 FDZ has arrived at Ruabon, not sure what the plan is for it!

Solo BA08 GHA which had been on service 70 Corwen to Llanrwst service today was noted failed early evening just outside Betws-y-Coed, Llanrwst bound, service van in attendance.

Anyone know when the new Scania's are entering service, sort of getting a bit impatient haha
