Have Central Buses got any additional buses due for their increased work commitments?

That would explain where the president running NIS down Marsh Hill about 18:50 was coming from

We have procured an Optare Versa.

Not correct.

This week two AM and PM journeys are standalone off an inspection run-back, with the other journey sitting in front of 88.

From next week, the AM journeys will sit in front of 61, 88 and S1 respectively and the PM journeys behind S1 and 42.

The board on service 91 operates 75 peak extras.

On not quite the same route - Central's S1 will proceed straight down Damson Lane, rather than via Rowood Drive and Walsgrave Drive, spreading the routes out a little more, with the X12 still going via Rowood. This Central S1 is rather a late start and early finish, though - presumably aiming at older shoppers rather than commuters.

Should be the other way around, twisting roads like Rowood Drive should be the domain of local routes and big buses should stick to the direct route
Personal opinion though so it's irrelevant

No disagreement there. (Am I misremembering, or did the 966 go via Damson Lane when it was a New Thing?)
