That would be great Merfyn! I was not sure whether or not Gwalia operated buses on stage carriage work but knew that they had a number of former Nottingham City Fleetline's and a solitary former Dundee Daimler Fleetline. Upon take over by Shearings I remember that we sent a number of dual purpose Plaxton Paramount bodied Leyland Tiger coaches and at some stage some of our former Portsmouth Corporation Leyland Atlanteans to Llandudno Junction Garage, so I assume that Shearings later operated stage carriage services ? I really wish I had taken more interest at the time and recorded these events.
