Saw a Trident numbered 9718 in Wolves today anyone have any info? It's on the site as 124?

9718 is another former Abellio/Travel London example

I did hear a rumour about this, somebody mentioned a few green bus tridents were going up to liverpool.

Back to brum and a bit of TGB metrobus news

313 isn't dead yet
460 has been sold to TJ of polesworth for use as a school bus if not mentioned already

TGB are doing a metrobus running day on the 558 on friday 17th, think its a farewell for the metros and for the end of the 558

Do you have any more details? times, buses etc?

Enviro 200 Rebels......Venturing Out Into New Territory's!!

The current Green Bus 558 timetable will show the times the day runs for, im guessing were having 458 462 464 and 989.

Not Metrobus related but TGB put 381 - R381LGH on the 558 today (the one time my camera was at home grrr)

I thought there were now only 3 buses on the 558 after the cuts?

Ashley 4569

No its still four buses a day

wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)

Just hope I get back in time Friday afternoon, what time do they stop running again and switch to schools? Could be the last oppurtunity we get to get a Metro on one of its old routes, used Metro's on the 558 for years

Ashley 4569

The last bus out of wolves is 14:07, similar time out of dudley

V318 KGW has had its 9718 fleetnumbers removed over the weekend and its 124 numbers added. I assume 123 and 125 will have had the same done, although I have still never seen 123

nitromatt1

Two Spectras arrived today, one is fleetnumber 711 (S897 BYJ) and unsure of the other one, possibly 710 or 712

Also one new Trident Y472 NHK (Voith) on loan from "Peoples Bus" but in Stagecoach livery, was on my school route this morning

Metrobuses on the final day of the 558 on Friday will be 464 and 458
