All 2/3s are 20 branded buses today as is the norm for Sundays.

All 2/3s were 20 branded buses today until one was changed over later. 2171 which had been off the road for a while following an accident was one of them.

JoNi

Repainted 4408 has re entered service as a changeover on route 10.

Major roadworks will take place in Corporation Street until November as part of the council's continuing public realm works (don't ask!). Most "eastbound" services will be affected particularly cross city routes such as 6/A, 8/A, 9/A, 10, 21.
Full details on National Express Coventry website. Council only made decision to go ahead last Tuesday

Odd, I had it on the 2 earlier. Possible breakdown.

1634 is apparently parked behind the garage with the other two withdrawn buses.

I've not seen it mentioned (nor is search throwing it up) but 4423 seems to have had an LED blind fitted to it's side only, oddly. It really does look out of place. No complaints though, at least it works!

Ah thank you, 4421 sorry! I saw just about all of the ALX400 B7TLs that day so it was hard to remember which it was :)

1. Will they be painted Sky Blue?
2. When are they going out of the garage onto routes?
3. Are they going to be on a specific roite or just any route?
Thanks ;)
