GHA are running a 15 minute service linking these villages to Ruthin following mainly the old 76 Denbigh to Ruthin (back roads) service.

The following vehicles are currently being used: - Y201KND (SB54), T510APS (SB46), VX51RBO (SB53), K772DAO (SB27), T549HNH (SB47), and N8GHA (SB38) with L408NUA (SB29) acting as a spare vehicle.

A lot of skill is being employed by the drivers to make their way through the very narrow lanes and I counted at least 11 reversing manoeuvres by T510APS to negotiate a very tight turning within the village of Llandyrnog. One or two of the buses now also have additional decorations attached to their bodywork involving small branches etc.

Loadings of the buses appeared very good and the pubs were certainly busy – most of which had special marquees and additional catering arrangements in place.

This sort of venture must be a “win – win” on many levels and the organisers must be congratulated.
