The Green Bus

[PM]

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!

Does bode well for Diamond though!

Eh?

Green Bus employees(not drivers)handing out leaflets at Merry Hill,Halesowen and West Bromwich bus stations paying particular attention to drivers they used to work with at other companies......I found it most amusing

Is that ex-TGB drivers that have been approached or ex-TWM drivers working for TGB doing the approaching?

Surely Greenbus aren't desperate enough to resort to such measures?

Are they using the same stands as 002 at Halesowen nitromatt?

I would guess several approached diamond drivers as that is where a lot of TGB drivers used to work and then transferred when GWM's school contracts were taken on, certainly I know a couple who jumped ship then

  They were ex diamond blokes and seemed to be mostly after Diamond dvrs and a couple of Central Buses dvrs as well
