HELP NEEDED! WEDDING TRANSPORT LET DOWN

[Buz89]

Hi there everyone,

so myself and my fiancé are getting married in January 2023, we had booked an 1956 AEC Regent with a company, which was advertised in the colour Black and White to which we paid the deposit. HOWEVER, since we booked, the bus has gone in for restoration and has gone back to it's original colour of red and cream, which would not match our theme. 

We are based in Dudley, and will be doing short trips from Himley House Hotel to Priory Hall and then onwards to The Dudley Arms. We need some support regarding finding another bus to replace, as we are relying on it for guest transport for our families.

If there is anyone who can offer any help please contact us as soon as possible and we can arrange details

Thank you!

Have you tried any of the local bus museums?

Even if they can't help themselves, they may know someone.

National Express?

National Express?

They wouldn't have anything in black & white surely, unless you consider dark blue & cream as a reasonable substitute, assuming 3225 would be available in the first place!

No, not black and white but if desperate for transport, they could help. Heritage livery, platinum livery, electric livery, NETS livery, got loads.

If livery isn't to much of an issue I'm sure green bus could help

The original post says livery is the problem

Sounds like you may be better off revisiting your wedding colour theme to be honest.

Haven't Greenbus got that black and white Trident still? Sure they had a striped livery for a special contract?
