Travel de Courcey -- General Thread

[Dylanbusboy45]

I don't go to Coventry very often so I wouldn't know. They have all probably been on the JLR contract but not sure as my Dad hasn't seen them lately. If I/my dad sees any of them again. I will post it on here. The JLR contract seems to  be parked up outside International station at around 19:00 maybe after its finished/ awaiting next duty on the contract.

Have these 3 Volvo's been on normal services, or just used for the JLR Contract and these Uni shuttles?

Not just me hoping to drop one on the 360 etc then haha.

Still going strong this morning but presumably for not much longer.
Note Hales Street is now blocked by bollards.

P862VFG on the JLR contract tonight. Wonder if these will be kept for a few more years for Private Hires etc or will they replace at end of year???

Bus stop flags being changed to 60/A in lieu of the 360.

Had a nice trip on 864 (and possibly 861, though not 100%) on the Uni park and ride. Surprisingly smooth considering how archaic and battered they looked. It amazes me how good some older buses seem to be mechanically compared to their newer counterparts (at least, from a passenger point of view).

Can anyone identify this B7TL which I saw at Miller St earlier today?

It had no registration plates on it.

It is NOT a DeCourcey vehicle, it belongs to a new dealer who uses DeCourcey's workshop

Remember you saying that now but wasn't sure, thanks Tony

Are DeCourcey using their deckers on normal services at all during the summer?

[JoNi]

They appear every weekday on 60 partial replacement for 360A/C and also some days on 85.

Somebody said the 703 had gone dd but I doubt that's true.

Well, it has on Monday to Friday but not Saturday. MCV's are common place Saturday.
