Redditch routes will suddenly become Signature, lol

That may be the case in the short term but judging by the website...

'Diamond Signature' will be withdrawn and our services that are continuing in the area will be operated as Diamond Buses.

Maybe, it could be that the signature vehicles are leaving the fleet altogether?

35184 in the revised Stagecoach livery for these vehicles (along with older photos of the vehicle)

What usually works the 665? Cause I've just followed Unibus 10041 around Bishops Itchington while on the 502 from Banbury, seems massively over the top to have a decker on there

The 665 is generally Enviro 200. Most of the general allocations are found on my spreadsheet. Hope that helps! 🙂 @Kevin

The latest buses to join Leamington Spa are Enviro 200's from Wales which replace the Gold Solo SR's on the G1.

Here is 36843...

Just thought when the new services 3 (evenings and Sunday's only) wouldn't it make sense having the 3 interworking with 10 and the 19 (Sunday service only) to interwork with the 29

That would not be logical @I love Walsall buses . The 19 and 29 operate at a different frequency so you would result in buses being parked up and the nature of the 3 and 10's timetable doesn't owe itself to interworking. Interworking is applied to routes to improve vehicle usage efficiency where there is significant down time at the end of journeys or if there is a reliability problem that can be compensated by bolting it onto another service that then spreads the additional assets required to reduce cost.

According to todays N&P, iGo are cancelling the 26 and 30 tenders in Coventry from 30th September - several weeks ahead of the original contract change date of 28th October.

That's because the replacing 16/16A and 20C start on Sunday @metrocity

Do NX still offer the University/QE £1 "city hop" fares? The one that's exclusive to students and NHS employees?

Yes @CL

Its certainly been a long while since an end-to-end route ran along Lenton's Lane; we've had the 30, 37/47, was there a 31A/31C? - possibly a 16 service ran this way [I can never remember, have I missed out another defunct A & C circular service?].

I'm not sure of the exact route details of the 20C, but at a guess; Trinity Street, Ironmonger Row, Cross Cheaping, The Burges, Bishop Street, Tower Street, Foleshill Road, Longford Road, Windmill Road, Aldermans Green Road, Lenton's Lane, Shilton Lane, Deedmore Road, Henley Road, Woodway Lane, Hinckley Road, Parkway, Olivier Way (Walsgrave Tesco). Unless there's a deviation of some kind in Wood End?

The 20C route will be as the 20 route along Foleshill Road. Then it will go via Oakmoor Road, Jacker's Road, Aldermans Green Road, Lenton's Lane, Shilton Lane, Deedmore Road, Henley Road, Woodway Lane, Hall Lane, Boswell Drive, Brade Drive, Hinckley Road, Parkway and Olivier Way. :)
