I see that the freehold of the depot site is up for auction on 14th March.

I wonder if Green Bus have any (contingency) plans to relocate?
It looks like Green Bus have a lease in place until 2022 so will have security of occupation until at least then

In Hayley Green/Hasbury  this morning, there was a Green Bus parked up with the display saying: KW4 Key Workers Service.

Is this a normal running thing, or something that has been brought in during the last couple of weeks?

New operation, as TGB only do schools/rail replacement/private hire.

I have updated the Green Bus fleetlist on the main site

Could @V102MOA check for any mistakes please?

101 - is withdrawn but still owned
102 - scrapped, gone
115 - sold to a preservationist, gone

4023, or what is left of it, is also still owned but not mentioned. It never turned a wheel in service though

Everything else is correct, the Gemini registrations are all on the right fleetnumbers. 409-415 are still to arrive, they are expected in June/July when Lothian release them but may be delayed given recent events

The Geminis are all being upseated to 48/31, but none of the ones that have been done have actually been able to take their VTP5 examinations yet (DVSA not doing tests for obvious reasons) so all are still 44/30

106 has also left guys, sorry Matt missed this one, even though we watched it slowly get dragged away! Short memory, he's only young!
