I can't argue with that - shame though

Avon and Impera have filled the independent roles very well alongside the two major operators.

The best that could possibly happen is getting emergency contracts when other operators throw things in.

True but i would think GHA will acquire one or other of the wirral independents in due course.

I would have thought they might have gone further afield by now (ie First Redditch etc) but they seem to be quite apprehensive of taking anything on out of the current comfort zone.

I suspect GHA will need some time to 'digest' their recent clutch of acquisitions and consolidate before moving on.

Many businesses get into trouble by trying to grow too much too fast.

The latest addition to the GHA fleet is a brand new Mercedes-Benz / Plaxton Cheetah which will be registered GA13GHA

Another addition is ex Jeffs Coaches Limited, Volvo B10M-60 / Caetano - VBW846 (previously J472NJU) - not yet clear what is the future for this coach

R457KWT - DAF SB220 / Alexander ALX300 - is now in use sporting its new GHA low floor livery - photo here

M905OVR (ex R S Travel) Dennis Javelin / Auwaerter Neoplan has just received a GHA Silver livery - photo here

Ex Dobsons mini buses N263FMA (Iveco) and M561SRE (MB/Marshall) have both been sold via e-bay

Previously reported is the acquisition of ex Arriva Midlands M401EFD - photo here of it now with GHA

The new Cheetah was to be seen in the Tarvin depot Tuesday afternoon. Nice looking motor.
