I've been away to West Midlands over the weekend. I've spotted ex-GHA Optare Solo YJ59GFY at Dudley town centre today. YJ59GFY now new owner with Diamond (Rotala company) wear navy blue allover livery.
YJ54 BUW seen in Holyhead yesterday, Still in GHA colours with Stena Line branding and the number 4
Wasn't GHA owned by the Davis brothers??
Looks like there sticking with the industry and have set up a 'bus breakers and dealers' business from Ruthin.

Yes and true to form they appear to be operating illegally as they don't have the appropriate licences to operate a vehicle dismantlers / scrap metal business from the premises
Hopefully Natural Resources Wales aren't as slow to react to a company flouting the law as VOSA and the TC were previously....
Well they do have experience in breaking buses under GHA. They took on decent new buses and allowed them to break through poor maintenance.

Doesn't surprise me one bit infact when I saw their advertisement on Facebook last night I couldn't help but laugh.

Shortly after the collapse of GHA some ten vehicles were re-possessed by Close Brothers Finance and were taken to the yard of Bakers Travel, Knypersley, Stoke-On-Trent and offered for sale by Harringtons. During the last 15 months only AA06 GHA, WX05 XVN and W465 WGH appear to have been sold. The latter, which is a President, to a dance troupe in the Eccles area. The other seven have now been taken to an auction and are to be sold on 11th November 2017.
