Why wouldn't it be?
The West Midlands daysaver can be used on any bus in the TFWM area and NX services outside of it including NXC services out to Rugby, Nuneaton and Leamington Spa.

Wonder how long it will be before a blue B7RLE gets on it.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

I didn't know that. I previously thought they'd be something in place for people travelling from the Birmingham area to cov. This of course clears that query. Thanks 

I guess B7's will be secondary to EV's. I don't think an e200 ever operate it.

Don't think B7's will ever make it on there. As far as I'm aware the X1 will be a priority for double deckers so if we're short due to VOR's then what ever isn't covered for the day then a B7 will cover it in Coventry

I guess at first people will assume it's more "I'm on loan" Coventry vehicles in Birmingham at first quick glance. When realisation kicks in the local X1 has been 'upgraded' I'm sure the rare chance of a b7' popping up won't matter to people. They are the more spacious single deckers anyway.

Also, slightly off topic regarding nbus tickets. Can I use the 110 with a nbus day ticket?

Imo the x1 should be treated like any other route in cv ie no Double decker available send a single decker out to cover 
All views are my own and does not represent the views of any company/ business that i maybe be working with

The X1 gets full very quickly, especially at peak times, I don't think we'll see a B7 on there for a while, I'll be surprised if we do and will definitely be noteworthy.

This is the Google definition - an uneducated and unthinkingly conservative Australian man.
