Looks as if Green Bus are trying to sell all the currently withdrawn Tridents on Tony's fleetlist for Green Bus. Found this out when I was looking on a website called coach and bus market.com. Don't think anyone has bought them yet though.

Green Bus have an unspecified number of Volvo Olympians and low height Optare Spectras for sale on page 27 0f this weeks Coach and Bus Week.

I was suprised to find ALX 400 110 at the Buses Festival last Sunday...
I'll modify this post with a photo later.

Didn't know all their vehicles had free WIFI
They have really cut down on their fleet size as well!

They've cut down their fleet size and number of school routes, axed commercial daytime routes, you just don't seem to see/hear anything about The Green Bus anymore. Not even sure whether the Liverpool/Surrey franchised operations are still going. All in all, just seems like work has been lost without replacement and they've run out of ideas of what to do with the business after the vast Centro subsidies to them were reduced.

Maybe I'm being unfair but can't see anything positive they've done recently...

The Reading services are still running but I believe the buses are owned by Reading. The fleet of 6 have recently been replaced, but whereas the previous vehicles were in Green bus livery the replacements are in Reading generic livery which makes them more suitable to be used on Reading services if required. I have seen the green livered ones on Reading services while down there.
