[5] After GHA Coaches failed to pay almost £1 million in taxes, HM Revenue and Customs took out a court order against the operator, putting them in administration.

[1][6][7] At the same time, a public inquiry was carried out into the safety of GHA Coaches vehicles, after 49 buses in the fleet of 161 were found to be unroadworthy.

[9] However, at a separate public inquiry, the Traffic Commissioner revoked the licence belonging to RJs of Wem with effect from 19 December 2016.

[10] Despite being founded in north east Wales, only about half of the bus services run by GHA Coaches at the time of closure were in this area.

They acquired four new Alexander Dennis Enviro200 buses which have free WiFi, leather seats, wood effect flooring, a passenger information system and one table on each bus.

[11][12] They were funded by Waters Corporation as part of a public transport commitment in order for them to get planning permission for building a new large employment site just outside Morley Green.
