So all services have finished with immediate effect then? If so hopefully TFWM can put up a service notice on the website to, for the people who used green bus.

For those that can't work it out, this is also why Birmingham busworks latest post is advertising over 50 buses available, this is old Greenbus vehicles a lot of which have already had interest before being out up officially for sale

 They've gone bust?

RIP Greenbus, never used them but i could tell they were a decent operator from some of the comments on this thread, especially in the 2010s with their diverse fleet

I work at The Green Bus, this is not the case at all. Birmingham Busworks is expanding in size, The Green Bus is reducing in size.

The managing Director of The Green Bus has just spoken to me on the phone to confirm what PN driver has just posted that

The Green Bus is reducing in size, but is not closing.

Birmingham Busworks is expanding with them expecting to do a lot of sales of second hand vehicles

Just a simple case of diversifying and adapting to the changing face of the bus industry. As the bus operation is reducing, it is simply drawing on its years of engineering and sales experience to provide a different offering.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people jump to the absolutely wrong conclusions just because an operator is selling vehicles - something it's been doing for a good 10 years!

All of the social media accounts for The Green Bus have disappeared...Although according to Companies House, the company is still active.
