Has anyone else noticed that the 1425 Coventry - Rugby service 85 journey is double deck on schooldays?
I discovered this thanks to bustimes.org, and I gave it a go recently. Enviro 400 4775 came out of Wheatley Street garage to operate the journey and it was a good, quick and scenic run through lovely villages like Brinklow and Pailton. Much better for me than the usual Enviro 200s!
The reason it is double deck is because its capacity is needed on its next journey, the 85S service from two Rugby Schools to Coventry. I believe that Travel de Courcey did the same when it ran the service, because I once saw a TDC Trident arrive in Rugby on a 585 one schoolday a few years ago.
The 85 journey includes a reversal in the village of Monks Kirby, as does the 85S. Is this the only in-service NX Bus double deck reversal?
