Just to say, anyone who wants a lot of Stagecoaches and Megabuses from all over the UK should flock to Northampton this weekend.  It's the Silverstone races and there should be loads of other buses from all over the UK there.

No, they should go to Silverstone where all the buses and coaches park. Megabus won't touch Northampton...

In the day they are now but not on that specific journey, it should be a standard E200. It used the be the same bus that did the 767 at half 6 in the morning which was always an unbranded E200, not sure if that's still the case since the changes

Bus for the 8PM comes from Tamworth, but they ripped 36208 off (I
Like that bus!!) for my all time favourite 39688.

I posted it and the specific journey because this is rare... a Scania on the X7 isn't rare like you seem to think...

Thursday 6th July

39688 - 48 (did the 8pm off Nuneaton to Coventry which forms the last Atherstone).

28627 - X7

Scania on the X7?!?!?! Crikey!!! That's a rare one!!!....

Sometimes you get Darts, 2004 Tridents and even Solos on X4.  A 2006 Trident really isn't that bad.

You get it all the time. A trident on a Gold route is not rare, neither is anything else in Northampton area..

What X4 needs is NEW BUSES!  The bid for new buses has been turned down TWO YEARS IN A ROW!

Because the current Golds are only 61 plates, hardly old when Nuneaton have 60 plates on there main route!

Trainer 20215 working in Stratford at lunchtime today.

Was doing CPC for 3 Nuneaton drivers (I know the chap who was driving it!)

No I'm not glad. It's supposed to be a Gold route, I expect a Gold vehicle. I'm not complaining as I realise operators sometimes have to substitute vehicles, but I'm not glad.

Spot on Tony. Gold is a commitment which has to be met, especially on a money making route like the X4.

47510 - 48 (10:04 Leicester off Nuneaton)

36174 - 55/56/57 (Cannot remember the last time this bus was on the 55/56/57 all day!)
47077 - 18/17B School run (school run in the smallest bus... nothing else to be said)
39692 - 48 (Last 48 bus out of the garage and expected as it was on the road Sunday)

39692 - Sunday 56/48 Leicester

Nuneatons slowest 30mph lawnmower 47076 - 48
Did the 15:44 Leicester, quite funny really

Just had 10 branded 36751 on the 48

36754 was also on the 48 replacing a broken 36174

It is so far, it's just come back from yet another accident (it seems to be very accident prone that one).
I mistook it for 36207 a few nights back as they look very similar from a distance now, it's only when I realised it didn't have large fleetnumbers inside that it wasn't 36207 but I forgot to check what it was before I got off

Had it on the 48 today, its terrible! Very very slow (36172 slow) pulling off, but is alright when it gets going

47510, 47651, 47654 - 55/56/57
39684, 39685, 39686, 39688, 39691, 39693 - 48

What a day!!
