Warstones Motors, who traded under the name ‘Green Bus Service’ have been forced to cease trading due to the Traffic Commission revoking their licence over a series of safety faults.
This means that both the number 68 and 69 bus services that travel through Wednesfield have now been taken over by rivals Arriva. Spokesman Keith Myatt said: “We are revising our number 69 service and will also be having a route 68 every 30 minutes from Monday.
“The 69 will run daily between Cannock, Great Wyrley, Landywood, Essington through New Invention, Wednesfield, past New Cross and into Wolverhampton.
“The 68 will run between Cannock, Great Wyrley, Landywood and Essington then Long Knowle estate and back in line with the 69 at Wednesfield, New Cross and Wolverhampton. The estate gains a Saturday service as Green Bus Service only ran Monday to Friday and the service is doubled form hourly to half-hourly.
