Quite possible, yes, they are being delivered at around 5 a week, and we have another 4 weeks before the first batch go into use

Will it beat the SDA --- S/TVP ---S batches of fleetlines and nationals which added up to more than 220 buses in one registration year, not forgetting the 4 prototype metrobuses of course

Hello TfWM, 
Another Coventry (large population city east of Birmingham) error that needs fixing.

Coventry city centre stop CU4 Cox St
I been watching this one for a while.
The RTI is only showing the SC X17 service and missing out all the many local NXC services that call. Crazy.

I'm starting to bite my fingernails with excitement - will we get to 100 new vehicles awaiting entry into service? Should do. Is this some sort of a record?

Thanks for the reply. I've been seeing that the Electroliner is making waves across the UK, especially London. I really do hope that NX order big for this bus, it also seems to be good from a passenger perspective

I realised first have alot of trust in this bus

National Express Coventry / Re: X30 Ansty Park

X30 service is struggling to keep to time this am in the peak. Both buses seen in convoy at 0905 heading out to Ansty Park. I feel sorry for the drivers as it must be impossible for them in the heavy traffic.

OK there is an election coming and one party is proposing big changes for English railways.

Be interesting to see what happens to the value of shares in the existing train operator businesses

I doubt it will do anything. All they are proposing is letting the current franchise run out, and the current operator risks losing it then anyway even without change
