Stagecoach in Coventry & Warwickshire

[DJ]

Just a quick general question - I saw a D1/2/3 branded E200 on the 585 in Coventry on Sunday, and I noticed that it had a very small number on the blinds. Doesn't this break the DDA rules regarding displays?

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

Are the sightseeing buses at Stratford only De licensed for the winter or are they have some new buses in the spring

I think they're mostly delicenced over the winter months. They definitely run between around Easter and early September but I stand to be corrected on this.

They are just delicensed for the winter.  The Stratford service no longer runs all year - it will restart a week before Easter.

I don't know if the existing open toppers will be replaced next year, but I haven't heard that they will or may be.  I'd be a little surprised if they were.

I imagine the service is axed, a logistical nightmare really for commuters.  Kenilworth only has a direct rail service to Coventry and Leamington Spa and not quite the centre of them at that.
Established bus services gets people more closer to the centres in little difference of journey time and is more frequent.

The 539 service might be amended around 9:10am to cover the Malthouse Lane loop as per the past ::).

Yes, because clearly lots of people from Kenilworth commute to the Ricoh...
