The 159 isn't a specified green route at all - MCT choose to use a green hybrid vehicle on the route.
TfGM can only specify a tendered service is 'green' when they provide the vehicles with the backing of the dept of transport.
An example being the 400 Metroshuttle in Oldham. If and when MCT loose that contract, whichever operator takes over would also receive the hybrid vehicle to go with it.
