The Green Bus

[vinh1000]

Every day I seem to pass a green bus in welford primary school
Is this the one converted to a mobile classroom? As it has shutters now instead of doors

Is that one of the KGW Tridents?

yes probably
one of the older buses sitting there - have seen it in use as a classroom though
no idea when they obtained it
Looks more like a olympian lol

Errrm, TGB still use all their Olympians as far as I am aware. One of the E-SON Metros?

See if you can get a photo next time you see it, even if it's blurred/distant, it will be enough

James Brindley School have a converted bus, I can find no record of Welford Primary having one

I went past it today on the 16
It was just sitting there
Where the door used to be there are green shutters
Still in TGB livery
I shall take a picture next time I pass

One of there R reg double deckers was trundling along the M40 northbound by jct 15 this afternoon..Was barely moving with a bus full of children doing little above 30mph..Surely a danger. ?

Update: 16 was going too fast but looked at it morclosely and it resembles a metrobus

It is a Metrobus. 'E458 SON' I think it is

That is the one with the distinctive smaller upper rear window, if it helps confirm it

You can not see the back from the road (you may if sat on the top deck of the 16), I noticed it was in the school when I was sent out on the 16 to learn the route a few weeks back. If you look hard enough as the 16 goes past, you can see the numberplate (I read it from memory, that's why I'm not sure which it is)

I know exactly where you mean, but haven't been on the 16 for a while so can't quite remember how close to the road it is. Might have to go the slow way to work on monday to have a look

Starts as of 28th February 2014

But when is it going to be officially announced? Is there any promotion activity taking place?

This starts in 15 days time, yet there is nothing on The Green Bus website, and nothing on NWM's service changes page as of yet.

Apart from a registration with VOSA, and some 'insider information' from Matt (which I've already shared on my Facebook page), nobody is going to have any idea about this new service when it starts. Doesn't bode well!
