‘Scene’ in North Wales. Independent operators on Dennis Basford’s ‘railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

Independant operators have always had a part to play in North Wales transport and while there may be fewer of them than there were, they still survive. Having said that, since that was written ‘GHA Coaches’ of Corwen have gone out of business.

 

‘Express Motors,’ based in Penygroes, Caernarfon operate widely across North Wales and their vehicles can be seen in places as far apart as Llandudno and Dolgellau and many places in between.
