D Jones & Son have also registered the two Industrial Estate services, I believe these have not been running at all since GHAs demise, so these might be starting tomorrow as well.
Just to update that Paul Rogers has confirmed tomorrow as the start date: https://twitter.com/cllrpaulrogers/status/754720382804951040
What appears to be a new twitter account for D Jones & Son also confirms they are running to the old GHA times: https://twitter.com/djonesandson
and Wrexham.com now has an article about it: http://www.wrexham.com/news/wrexham-industrial-estate-llangollen-bus-routes-taken-over-by-d-jones-son-116266.html

Is it viable? The times I've seen it no one has been on it and if I remember correctly the services are infrequent too. Also do they have enough buses?

The 17:13 from Chester is a well used service, with a large number of the passingers staff who work at the Countess of Chester Hospital

X9 may get scrapped as patronage was quite low with some buses running empty.

I got on a few months ago at Broughton and no one was on it and no one got on all the way to Wrexham... A bigger taxi for like a tenth of the price
in my favourite type of bus too!
