Green bus used to be amazing and had some fantastic vintage buses. It really went a bit downhill last few years not sure what happened :-(((

That's sad news.  Graham Martin was very helpful to bus enthusiasts, especially in the earlier years, and he had a fascinating fleet for a long time.  He also made a great success of services that he took over in the 1970s and early 80s, such as Cannock to Penkridge, Longford Estate and Telford.  And he was one of the last bus operators to use traditional Bell Punch tickets!

RIP Graham.
