GHA Coaches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GHA Coaches is a bus and coach operator serving North East Wales and surrounding areas in the United Kingdom. Their current total of bus operations has increased dramatically in recent years after purchases of other local bus operators such as Hanmers Coaches and Challoner's, and are now quite possibly the main rival to Arriva North-West & Wales in the area.

[edit] Bus Operations

GHA presently operates fifty-seven bus routes throughout North East Wales and Cheshire using the brands GHA Coaches, Hanmers, Vale Rider and Challoner's. Both GHA and Hanmer's operations use a livery of white, grey, red and burgundy, although more modern vehicles are known to use silver or gold instead of the traditional white. Those under Denbighshire's "Vale Rider" brand use the county's logo alongside various designs using red, black or green. Challoner's buses are the exception using cream and blue colouring, with a thin black stripe running around the bottom of the bus.

[edit] Coach Operations

Most of GHA's coach operations were inherited by the sale of Hanmer's coaches, although it has set up some in its own name in recent years. GHA hire out its coaches for various applications, however the most frequent use is school transport. The design of its coaches follow those of its bus operations.
