10 branded 36756 working the 55/56/57 today.

LX51FNO even, sorry about the confusion

18371 SF55TSZ IS now in service in Leamington, confirmed by my own eyes!

Also, 17511 LX51FMO is in service (Meant to be an excellent bus!) - 16174 R174HHK is also a recent transfer from Kettering to Stratford.

47653 KX58AYG is also now painted in standard livery.

39680/1/2???/4/5/6/7/8/9/90/91 all now repainted out of Matrix livery for the 55/56/57 - 39683 seen by myself today. Not seen 39682 for a while, so in for repaint?

Regards,
Ben.

Does anyone know if olympians get allocated to any Coventry routes?

X16 Coventry to Stratford is usually Olympians.

Also some X15/X18 is sometimes allocated Olympians, best to look for the 10:02 Coventry to Stratford X15 and the 11:02 Coventry to Stratford X15.

35183 is today on the X17.

By the way, the 18:35 (?) Stratford to Coventry X17 is booked a double decker, Unibus or Trident most of the time as the bus is from the depot.

Another Unknown MAN 396XX has been repainted at Nuneaton, believed to be either 39683 or 39686. Arriva Tamworth are also now fully aware of a 48 extension to Tamworth, so now it is looking very likely.

Also news being the MAN's at Nuneaton will be used on the 48 to Tamworth, 39680 has all ready appeared on the 48 since it's repaint and unbranding. The (bad) news being that the 55/56/57 will now most likely be covered by standard Enviro 200 ADL 'Go Karts'  :'( :'(

The Enviro 200's released by Carlisle in place for the Optare Solo's are going to Stagecoach Midlands/Stagecoach South, Stagecoach Nuneaton expected for the 55/56/57.
