YJ54 BUW this looks to have come from another operator poss rossendale bus judging by its livery but dunno. Anyone info on the pair plz???

AA02GHA - answered in another post

YJ54BUW - been with GHA since September 2014 - you are correct in that it was new in Sept 2004 to and came from Rossendale (fleet 49) - has been in use since it arrived.

Use to enjoy listening to the radio on CA05 when it was out and about on the 40.

Any ideas as when YJ54 BUW will get repainted as its looking pretty scriffy atm must be said?

YJ54BUW was originally new to Rossendale Transport but was sold to Connexionbus in York and was used on their 923 Otley-Tadcaster service amongst other services but then it was sold onto GHA

BP52XAE Dennis Javelin / Transbus Profile which arrived at and has been working in Winsford since May has now received the standard coach GHA(silver) livery - photo

The DAF SB3000 / Van Hool T9 Alizee ex Adams Tours - which was registered R997RNW and B19DAF has now been given the registration number R12GHA and has now entered service - photo

Another DAF SB3000 / Van Hool T9 Alizee - 264CHX is currently away at an external contractor being repaired (Perrys of Gobowen).

Another vehicle bought with accident damage - CNZ3819 a DAF SB3000 / Pn is also away at an external contractor Blackpool Coach Services.

The ex McKendry Volvo B10 /Jonckheere YEZ2505 has been through the bodyshop and is currently in the paint shop and hopefully will emerge soon in its new GHA (Silver) livery.

Bovas M272SBT and M784RVY which were recently withdrawn have been sold to Shelton Motors
Also going to Shelton Motors is the troubled Scania UYM551 (ex M404EFD) which has been withdrawn for some time with some severe electrical problems.

MB M413BEY - which has been donating spares for some time has now gone for scrap.

A15GHA - Solo - was recently been re-registered from W677DDN Whist the registration plate of A15GHA now appears on W677DDN the former A15GHA Volvo / Plaxton still remains in the yard (with the number A15GHA) and a decision has not yet been taken as to its future - one option being considered is to use it as a training bus. - photo

A15 GHA (CA06) doesn't appear that bad tbh. Looks half decent & never knew GHA had training vehicles as previously never seen em.

The only vehicle I have seen previously being used as a training vehicle was 579UXR and that was a couple of years ago. It appears that they may start training again - to ensure they can employ all the drivers they need.
