@Coventrybususer95 isn't 872 an Enviro200? What would be notable about a single decker being on one of the two routes that require a single decker?

To be fair to him, B7RLEs are the primary bus type for that route, E200s are rare on there but it is still a single bus on a single decker route.

That's the bit I needed to know. I had forgotten that there was more than one type of single decker at Cov still.

Is anyone else wondering why first 10 of the later batch E034 to E043 have had the advert added on a brand new livery. When E020 to E029 (10) have the old livery.
If the older 10 were to have it applied and stripped with the livery in bits they would have been repainted to the new one? Would have been a great opportunity to save costs.

No it wouldn't have saved anything.
Perhaps as an outsider you haven't got all the facts to make the choice I had when making it.

Anyone know if the zenobe bus is still parked in the old car park please. I have a photo of it when I went down the other day

The NSA voices on the cov electrics haven't been working for a year and a half 
when will this issue be fixed?

All the ones i've caught on X1 work fine, which ones do you mean?

As a driver I can confirm they do work but cut off after more than 1 trip. X1's aren't really affected as the bus gets turned off once back in Coventry due to the layover. However, I did the X1 yesterday and by the time I got to the Alvis Retail Park they cut off and didn't hear them for the rest of my trips

Seems a bit useless if they stop after 1 trip

I'd imagine they're not meant to do that. Something seems to be tripping them

When St James Lane is closed next week how will the 13 return to City if terminating at Craigends Ave? 
https://nxbus.co.uk/coventry/service-updates/st-james-lane-closure

Could not find out from the service update.

If a reversing move is to be avoided could it be a detour around Langbank Ave / Princethorpe Way / Quorn Way and back onto Willenhall Lane?

All of them as they will eventually cut off at any random point when the driver stops and opens his doors and it has been happening for some time now. This issue will even randomly happen when the bus is still driving and the voice will just cut off.
