Joining the fleet is YX54GZB a Mercedes Benz Vario with Plaxton Beaver 2 - B33F - new in Jan 2005 to and purchased from Perry & Holtby, Malton. - PHOTO - It will soon be given the familiar yellow based livery. This brings the fleet back up to five.

Just arrived is SF59DTX an Iveco Daily 65C18 / NuTrack - B25FL - which was new in October 2009 to North Lanarkshire Council (23007). It has a tail lift and is intended for use on a school contract involving Glan Clwyd school, St.Asaph. Also here is GL15CBO a Volkswagen Transporter which is mainly used as a feeder.

Regrettably I have to report that JCK892 - the Leyland Tiger Cub PSUC1/2T with Burlingham -C36F bodywork has been sold to Ensign. This ex Ribble preserved vehicle had been with Jones since 1975 and had been a regular attender at many events including the Llandudno Transport Extravaganza. - PHOTO -

Stagecoach, Chester
OP02ARE - the Optare M890EV Solo SR demonstrator has now moved from M & H to Stagecoach and can currently be found working the 1/X1/2 Ruthin - Mold - Chester corridor. This route together with the current M & H 76 - Graigfechan - Denbigh and 66 Henllan and Denbigh town service are likely to be the routes for the proposed Denbighshire County Council £0.5 million pound element for the provision of four new electric buses as part of a national government project involving in total some £11 million. -- PHOTO OP02ARE - Loggerheads --
