It's ironic you posted that, as there was a VIP bus parked up on Westley Road in Acocks Green as I was walking home. It was clearly broken down, as it had '40' printed on an A4 sheet in the windscreen, but it was 7pm and the last one that leaves Acocks Green is at about 5pm!  ;D

Apparently Green Bus are getting in on some dealing!

They have purchased 16 tridents, some solos and some darts, all from Abellio, but most are for resale and not for use

I read on Flickr that 7 are to be Kept with Green Bus, replacing all of the Metrobuses by November, which are for sale at £2000. Ex Abellio 8008 (Y118 HWB) has also been seen in their yard.
