Oh dear, it certainly isn't the most glamorous of branding, but it serves its purpose I suppose.

The latest Enviros to arrive with GHA ex Stagecoach Warwickshire are SN04EFS and SN04EFU.

I note from the Cheshire West & Chester website that GHA are to commence a Sunday & Bank Holiday service between Chester & Northwich in January 2014.

Hopefully, this will be successful - it's been a few years since anything went that way on a Sunday or a Bank Holiday.

Looks like GHA want to keep the Sunday service of the 130 between Macclesfield and Manchester. It was originally planned for D&G Bus to take over the contracted service from 19 January 2014. However, GHA have now registered a commercial Sunday service from 26 January 2014, which meant that Cheshire East Council have withdrawn the financial support for the service.

S644KJU seen in Liverpool today working the X22 to Liverpool ONE.

With the news of GHA taking over the X94 completely later this month, I would not be surprised to see these 'new' Enviros used for that.

I suspect that the Enviros were purchased with gaining the X94 contract in mind but my guess is that the line 9 Volvo B7RLE /Weight Eclipse may be the chosen vehicles and the Enviros will fill the gap left. Whatever is used will have to be fitted with Tachos - only a fortnight before it starts.

I suppose the Line 9 Volvo's will be used on the Barmouth service.

I got told by G.H.A That its the Line 9 B7RLE's for the X94 if they get it but theres some competition for that X94 so dont get the hopes up and also got told that if they do win it the B7RLE's will gain the Green & White TrawsCambria Service Livery and branded
