Green Bus of Great Wryley

Warstone's of Great Wyrley started as a country operator and as well as working a few more profitable bits around Cannock it's main function seemed to be providing services to small villages either side of the A5 right along to the Shropshire Border. During the Nineties with Deregulation it grew with importance around the Cannock Chase Coalfield Communities too taking on the likes of Midland Red Chaserider. But I cannot understand why it should have since forfeited these profitable urban routes to once more concentrate on the marginal stuff, maybe they sold their share of work around Cannock, Hednesford and Wolverhampton to the larger Concern. At one time it famously ran Leyland PD3 double-deckers long after they had disappeared elsewhere but now even it's equally famed former Municipal Leyland Leopards have all but gone too and the main fleet is of rather more mundane but still attractive Mercedes Minibuses. But before the Leopards came, a number of Leyland Tiger Cubs arrived including a nice pair from Burnley and Pendle dating from 1964. In the early days they were regularly to be seen in Stafford when they visited on Market Days on the back route to Penkridge via Acton Trusell.
