My last visit a fortnight or so ago - it had been repainted - but still had quite a bit of internal work (and mechanical work?) to be done and was parked outside the pits area where it had been for a month or so. Possibly waiting for parts or something like that. Will update when I get further information. DLG817
I have a website which looks at the bus and coach operators in North East Wales. There are current fleetlists for all operators and most have a full historic fleet list.
Included are current depot fleet lists for Arriva Cymru. There are also a number of ceased opertators with historic fleet lists including the GHA Group The address and a link is www.Ronsbusesandcoaches.com

A few recent arrivals are :- R217HCD & R230HCD - Volvo B10BLE / Wright Renown - B46F - new in January 1998 to Brighton & Hove (217) and (230) photos R217HCD R230HCD R979PRD Volvo B10M-62 / Berkhof - C51Ft new in May1998 to Islwyn, and previously with Rennies, Dunfermline M688KVU Volvo B10M-62 / Van Hool T8 Alizee - C51Ft new in Feb 1995 to Shearings (688) - and previously with Hamilton-Gray, Bow Currently with Bryn Melyn on approval is YK08EPZ - Optare Versa V1100 - B38F new in June 2008 to Nottingham (321). If purchased this Versa is likely to be used on the new 96 Shrewsbury to Telford route. Out of the fleet are :- BA56GHA (SB11) VDL SB120 / Plaxton Centro -(route branded for 146 Whitchurch) scrapped having been severely gutted by fire F231YTJ Leyland ONCL10/1RZ / Alexander (ex Merseyside PTE 231) scrapped having donated spares - never used by GHA R166VLA Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer 2 (New to Metroline (DLD66), ex Riverline, Paisley) - scrapped on site having donated spares - never used by GHA W912COJ Mercedes -Benz 614D / Excel (ex Call-a-Cab, Pontyberem) scrapped having donated spares - never used by GHA Solo MX55BYD (ex K&H Doyle Coaches Ltd. Alfreton Derbyshire) which entered service with GHA in its Tesco livery has been given the standard GHA (low floor) livery and was in use today - photo Sister Solo MX55BYF has also been given the standard livery and has entered service - seen today on route 44 - photo Bryn Melyn's DAF SB220LC550 / Optare Delta has returned to service having been undergoing some major repairs. Sunday of this week saw the first day of revised and withdrawn services in the Wrexham area due to the curtailment of certain Council subsidies. A few services have survived and are now commercial. Full details can be seen at the Wrexham website at link It will be interesting to see what happens to the two Wrexham owned Solos YJ09EZK and YK05CBX. They have recently been used on the 62 and 65 Ceiriog valley services but as a result of the cuts are no longer required for this work. The former Solo still carries the 101 Shoppa Hoppa livery while the latter carries the Pontcysyllte Heritage site livery. They were both sitting at Ruabon today not being used. Ron DLG817
