Diamond 30407 looks like it's broke down on Gorsty Hill.

Also there is four way traffic lights bottom of Coombs wood affecting both dia and nx

A diamond 4H passed me going up Hereward Rise yesterday morning, must have saved a good few minutes not waiting at the lights. :P

They were gone this afternoon so that should clear some of the congestion.

Just passed an Omnilink on Gorsty Hill with its hazards on, didn't catch the fleet number as another one pulled in behind it.

I've been told that this is because of confusion for customers using the 11's that they think it has WIFI when in two tone colours...

If that's the reason, could they not try and keep them off the 11? It's not as if they're lacking blue/white buses.

Looks like 4190 is on it's way to CV, maybe replacing a bendi?

Driver side displays? What use would that pose? People don't look at the anyway 9 times out of 10!

Why not, they're on every other side? Useful if you're on that side.

Though I agree a lot of people ignore them anyway.

Streetdecks (preferably with the glass corner pillars)
Buses with driver-side displays
Citaros

Saw a Uni E400 on the 10.

The University interchange can be crowded with buses (including shuttle buses) and i'm not sure stands are long enough for centre doors to be adjacent to pavement.
Stagecoach supervisor I spoke to commented interchange would have had been better with head on bays enabling more vehicles to board simultaneously.

I'd have to agree with you there, it's not a great design. A parking bay would have been useful, so buses could at least move out of the way when they're waiting. I think the stand it used last year would be long enough, not sure now it has moved.

Out of interest @JoNi, how is the station work progressing? I've moved out of Coventry, the last I saw they had started work on the tunnel under Warwick Road.

Not sure a bendi would make the turn into the train station terminus, especially given there are often cars parked there.

Even if they could, it would be a surprise given it hasn't long had new branded buses with added wifi.
