Created for odd workings like Tridents on Park & Ride, 85/585. They appear to be scheduled on 703/704 these workings may cease once the Outer Circle starts.
Versas have also started appearing on the 85/585 and an ex London Dart appeared on the W1C earlier in the week.

Dual door Trident LV52HHM spent most of the day on Coventry Park & Ride North.
On 01/03/2013, there were Tridents on both the 72 and 81.
I wonder whether the Metrobuses are going ... :S

Are any Metrobuses still used in service?

They are used, but are generally confined to school and private hire workings.
The former Brighton Scania double deckers have been making regular appearances on the X6 on weekdays for the last fortnight, if anybody wants to blast up the M69. Don't know if they are allocated to specific workings.
MCV allocation instead of a double decker for a 360C this afternoon. Passing through Canley after stopping at Westwood School.

Does the 360A/C use deckers during the week?

I'm really not the right person to be asking here, I'd want to say no because there wouldn't be such a demand for the service but then again De Courcey have a habbit of surprising me so who know's!
Double-decks on the 360, yes, you can guarantee you will see one, maybe two some days.
Mercedes/MCV Evolution 573 seems to be a regular on the X6 route lately.
Does anyone know what's happend with Tempo 572? I've not seen it on the X6 for a good month or so.
Were there any deckers on the 360A/C this week?
Decker on 85
810 on 585

I Spotted this today heading towards UOW on a W8 this afternoon. I noticed that the reg is 63 plate. Is De Courcey the first operator its been with? (I'm thinking not > Where was it previously?).

You're both right!
They do all kinds of crazy interworking.
I haven't had chance to go and work it all out, but when I get a spare day some time I might try and work out all of the boards.

Yes, but the 360A/360C now only goes only to hospital in both directions and changes direction to the other route. Only certain workings are double deck.
One of the Older MCV Evolutions are on the X6 today. I believe it was the 1210 / 1510 departures. From Pool Meadow
821 on the W1 today, we will soon see if this becomes more usual.
