it was like going back in time when on 989 with a still close to immaculate interior and the good old thrash I used to love

2/989 has been bought by someone I know who is planning to restore it to the way it was 15-20 years ago, in the Wolverhampton livery. Including the opening front windows. Really looking forward to seeing it done.

Would that be a Greenbus driver, formerly an engineer at NXWM who was relieved of his duties for taking a bus out of garage without permission???

No names mentioned, obviously ;)

From what I was told by a bloke with a big chin, he took a load of bus spotters out on a Metrobus and had someone hanging out of the platform! What a Rodney Trotted lol!

He dropped a few of his old work chums in it - not very popular when he left!!!!

Has anyone seen Green Bus 116 today? I was sent a message by someone earlier that it had been reregistered (to V16TGB?) by someone while I was at work, and I cannot find the message now to check the exact details.
DVLA still have it as V316 KGW so it is a very recent change

Still V316KGW, out on the 50 today.

That might be so but he certainly knows how to drive a bus well!

'V311 KGW' on Tony's fleetlist

Nope, V323KGW. V311 is still red & current on DVLA, V323 is neither.

It was V311 on the initial list Green Bus posted on their own website which is where I took it from. They corrected it and I altered my websute a few days ago
