Townlynx, Greenfield, Holywell

This firm once used mainly for their services Iveco minibuses.  Two of these,  N190GFR and N464NRN were retained long after they were withdrawn from service well over 12 years ago.  THey were subject to an arson attack in 2018 and only the frame / carcasses remained.  Recently these carcasses have now been taken for scarp and no trace of the vehicles remain.

Only two of the former Wright Bodied Volvos still remain at the premises.  One of these is Crusader Y72YSO and this currently occupies a prime position at the front of the premises which does not create an appropriate impression to any passers by.  Hopefully as most of it has been scrapped it will be removed from this position soon.
