635 tracked on the 882 today.

I hold a Green Bus fleet list, and im not showing 635 LJ09 OLU

See message #2444. 

[ARBB]

635 is LJ09 OLU. (Not 619 renumbered)
365 is parked in the yard at Miller Street. (Can't miss it, it's by the gates)
619 doesn't exist.

All of the services operated are public services, not school buses.*

*All services are open to the general public. However, they are not included in the nNetwork or Warwick multi operator tickets. Instead you can buy a single, return or week ticket by following the link on the website. (Single £3.60 Return £6 and week tickets £30) 

[Rachvince53]

Presumably that only applies to the school services, not the 25 service they will be operating from January.

Yes - this is a requirement of any operator operating tendered services to accept Network products. TFWM also set the maximum fare that can be charged (in line with NX fare structure)

25 status changed on December 16th from retained with changes to decision pending.

Perhaps as with what happened to the 242 Green Bus haven't managed to get the drivers for the service so the route has gone out on an emergency tender.

There's not a shortage of drivers at green bus. The 242 was taking less than £20 per day, with no funding. This is the reason it was withdrawn.

Looking at the timetable, it would use one bus and presumably as it only operates for five hours, just needs one driver, maybe two at most, so I doubt that's the problem.

Unless they tack the 600 on the end of it, as that one appears to still be awaiting a decision as well.

The following is on the TfWM website. Ridiculous from TFWM - these changes are due to take effect in a fortnight !


25 (Erdington to Ward End) has been removed from this list as its status was updated from Retained with Changes to Decision Pending on 16 December 2022. We will update on the outcome of this service as soon as possible.

Now showing on Diamond website with changes so it looks like Greenbus will not be the new operator after all !
