Surely the 60 gets as many plaxtons as the other Coventry road routes get

Quote from: NathanJC on April 23, 2012, 04:54:27 PM
Service 59/900/957 are rarely Plaxton Operated

Does the 900 ever have an Plaxtons ?
I know the 957 has Plaxtons & Tridents

Ash

the 900 is usually operated by the 46xx tridents and its rare to see anything else on it

The full 900 is mostly the 46** Trident's with maybe 1 or 2 older Trident's on there a day.

The 900E has more older Dennis Trident's on it, as I am pretty sure that the 900E does not interwork with the 900 (At least some journeys of the 900 interworks with the 957).

I'm sure the 46** no longer operate the 900, or they didn't briefly because the gearboxes were damaged from a speed bump at the Airport. It was known to crack the gearboxes only in the 46** Tridents.

Ash

I was in Coventry today and i only managed to see one 900 bus and it was a 43xx trident, typical after my comment lol

Nathan4775

So its just Tridents that operate the 900/900E with the rare working Ominilink/plaxton/hybrids

There was an omnilink recently on the 900 i think it only done the one journey for a broken down trident and then the omnilink got replaced by another trident
