Title: Travel DeCourcey - Unusual Workings
Post by: JoNi on February 28, 2013, 09:54:21 PM
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.

28/2/2013

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

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?

Yes as far as I'm aware, at least on the particular working I was referring to, its needed for the school kids.

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!

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?).


I have a habbit of answering my own questions :P

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.
