   Now this really is STOP PRESS. Have just heard that GHA buses have gone into immediate administration. That means now. That means that upwards of 250 buses will not leave their six depots tomorrow morning an who knows, maybe 5000 passengers of all ages including many, many school buses will not be running.
  GHA are by far the largest privately owned bus company in North Wales, maybe all Wales. They are based mainly in the Wrexham area but stretch out as far as Barmouth and in the other direction well into England. I can hardly believe it. Six depots. Hundreds of employees.
   Who can fill this gap? Arriva is the only one, but whether they would want to is another matter.

On a more smaller scale, something similar happened when Padarn folded.  Their services were absorbed by other operators without much fuss.  With a few exceptions (eg the 12 and 13 day time services) most bus services are wholly or partly subsidised by local authorities or Welsh Government so operators are confident of base income.  GHA possibly may have grown too quickly, too soon.

Most of their stage carriage services operate in the Wrexham area where there are numerous smaller operators as well as a significant Arriva presence - so hopefully these can step in and minimise disruption to travellers.

Hi Folks,

I thought you should all know that my friend Hugo has fairly recently attained a significant Birthday.

I'm sure there are are members of the forum that might wish to say something.

He is a good friend and a very kind man indeed.

Rhuddlan.
