You also seem to have missed that I moved 4129 from the back of the garage at CV to Miller Street last Tuesday @Adam 404

Thanks @Tony , I'll make sure that's in the next edition.

Interested to read in the latest magazine about the ticketing issue at the start of your foray into Oxfordshire, Adam.

I recently emailed Stagecoach to try to get a straight answer about whether the adult East Dayrider Gold was sold on  Warwickshire vehicles (because bizarrely the website lists only the child price when selecting Warwickshire options).

The reply did not answer the question, stating only that it is valid, so I'm none the wiser.

It was certainly an interesting trip @Smethwickian , some of the drivers looked confused at my ticket but let me on anyway. I don't know whether I was actually allowed to use the buses I caught with the day ticket but nevermind!

Well done,
I'll write up a "A Day out with my Walrus" regarding Friday mornings trip on the X1 to Brum comparing it to travelling by Gold to Heswall for next months edition.
If I have time I can write up this mornings diversions in Coventry and also use it as case study in poor customer service!
A 48 ended up in Hillfields!!

Thanks @JoNi , it would be great to have some stories from others to add to the magazine :)

579 has managed to remain for the time being. It was acting as a staff bus today at Arena Park.

2165 (20) was on the 10.

I pictured it today with 2166 as it ran the 20A.

Sure it was at Kettering sometime recently

Well, it has been on a bit of an adventure this year with it also being allocated to Leamington Spa.
At Leamington - https://www.facebook.com/CovBusPage/photos/a.552216734950264.1073742232.369276339910972/731672693671333/?type=3&theater
At Rugby - https://www.facebook.com/CovBusPage/photos/a.552216734950264.1073742232.369276339910972/799122986926303/?type=3&theater

You may be confusing it with 34628 which is supposed to be at Kettering now @YN64AOG

Back in Nuneaton?  What has replaced it at kettering then?

It was at Rugby as paint cover @YN64AOG

The new buses can not be too far off as one of the current 48 Enviro200s has been de-branded. Imagine a few others may have been done too

Like some of the Rugby Enviro 200's, some of the Nuneaton E200's have been in for a repaint. @John

These new buses 26178-26202-26226 is there a date when they will be delivered or in service on the 48 or whatever routes they are working on

They are supposed to be arriving in February for the 48 route last I read. @mark114
