Matt, Are anymore Tridents arriving in time for September (School Services) to replace the metrobuses. One more question (Forgot to ask earlier) are anymore Spectras coming to Green Bus?

Yes and yes

Yes, 201-206. They are clearly a replacement for the 6 Metrobuses which have recently been withdrawn (313, 989, 458, 460, 462, 464)

He is returning it to Wolverhampton Corporation livery, as seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/55318994@N07/6209532706/

It's also being returned to original spec (windows, seats etc. all being replaced with originals)

A Decker passes me at Scott arms earlier, turning from Newton rd to Walsall rd, seemed to have fleet no. 206 but looking at the fleet list that's a Lance... also seemed to have about a dozen enthusiasts / staff on board. Anyone know any details?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

201-206 are now Spectra. They have replaced the Metrobuses.

Yes, 206 was a Lance L206 YAG, but that was scrapped several months ago. 206 is now an Optare Spectra, S881 BYJ. All of 201-206 should be in school service when school restarts in September.

I had not heard of any enthusiast event, are you sure the enthusiasts weren't just staff not in uniform?

No I'm not sure, hence I put "enthusiasts / staff"
