I popped down to Ruabon earlier to have a look at the new Bryn Melyn depot and it looks as if some decent photos should be able to be got through the fence. Doesn’t look as if it is attached through to the main depot yet, but I would not be surprised if some form of access was created in the future, depending on property holders, lease agreements etc.

Two snippets

1. YJ04BVD DAF SB120 / Wright Cadet (ex Swansea City Council) has now received Llangollen Express livery - and therefore will not be for the X36 airport service as suspected. This new service starts tomorrow (6th June) - any sightings will be appreciated.

2. S878SNB Dn Dart (ex Arriva 808) - it appears that it may be starting its service with GHA at Middlewich depot - presumably for the 319 Sandbach - Tremlow Green service as the Solo which has been used on this service failed and had to be towed back to Ruabon recently. Again sightings to confirm will be appreciated.

If all goes well for me, I should be out tomorrow to try out this new, interesting service! If I manage to see all three buses out, I'll note them down and post them into this thread tomorrow!

Does anyone know much about this company? I am thinking of applying to them as a driver. They certainly seem to be expanding and it looks like they do some nice rural routes. Does anyone have any views on them and does anyone know what rate of pay their drivers are on??

In my view, the company is growing quickly and their fleet (of over 250 vehicles) is improving . They operate routes over a very wide swathe of north east Wales and Cheshire, stretching into Shropshire, Staffordshire and Merseyside. I have no special knowledge but the company seems reasonably well run. Their main depots, as stated above, are in Ruabon, Tarvin, Middlewich and Ruthin; they also operate vehicles from Betws Gwerfil Goch (Corwen) and Macclesfield.

Good luck if you do decide to apply.
