Green Bus on the 142 and 257... that is what I like to hear! It'd probably be a Central Dart or something though :(

[Trident 4609]

That's good to hear. Means Green Bus will be running services in Wolverhampton once again (Last time was on the 558 which i wish still ran) on the 28E,530,545 and 82. It would be interested if any of the Green Bus fleet actually come out to play on any of Arriva's routes (Although most likley as said all these Arriva services will be operated by buses loaned by central buses)

[Trident 4609]

It doesn't appear to mention on the NWM and NXWM sites about the services in Wolverhampton continuing untill end of service on Boxing Day (Apart from 126 and 529 which both come under different areas such as Birmingham and Walsall)

It doesn't mention the fact that also WN's 1,2,59,79 (Along with the 126 and 529) will be running a full Sunday service till end of service

I presume Green Bus will need quite a few buses indeed, although I would laugh if a decker appears on a merry hill route!!

I wonder whether all the buses operating on the Arriva routes will All be loaned buses from Central Buses or whether the tridents may put in an appearence?

Maybe they will loan the buses from arriva?

It seems unlikely, it's already been confirmed TGB are loaning a load of buses from Central for Boxing Day
