Does that mean that's the first board it has done or has it been out in service before?

It had to happen before long! :smiley:  The 1425 from Coventry is double deck on schooldays.

E071 & E090 now at Coventry for service

Is there a definitive list of which electrics are currently being used in service (other than EO20-29, which seem to get on various services these days - particularly 20 to Nuneaton).

They all are by the looks of things. Think they've managed to fix it. Just need to add all the buses that are over working service onto there

They are getting better, but not sure how you think they all are. When you posted this 19 out of 40 were working, we now have that up to 26 out of 40, soon to be 41 as E039 went to Coventry today

I more meant what bus times are showing. I know BT aren't showing all that are in service. My appologies

Just had a look tonight on Bus Times as to what services the new electrics are running on as i hope to pop up to Coventry next week to grab some photos.

 E058 states that at 05.00 this morning it was on the 997 !
Clicked on map to find its at Plaxton, Anston .

It has been on the 997 every morning for a few days according to the tracker. It is at Anston because one of the ariels was damaged when it arrived.

I saw E058 last Wednesday at Dartmouth Circus and it was behind me all the way to Coventry Road when I lost it, possibly heading to BC?
