2165 having been branded - https://www.facebook.com/CovBusPage/photos/a.375252835979989.1073741848.369276339910972/808434892661779/?type=3&theater

The site has indeed gone down hill. Just looked at it and notice Christmas times etc and thought that is early. However it was Christmas 2016 not taken down. 167 and 168 timetables still shown under igo. Shame because it is such a well set out site but if the information is not up to date then it is no better than useless. Also every day loads of tweets about lost service etc but never any tweets "selling" the services

They appear to have finally updated it!

From the start of this week, Rugby's 10 and 12 (Rugby - Daventry) have been combined with Northampton's D1 and D2 (Northampton - Daventry) to provide a through Rugby - Northampton service numbered D1 and D2.  Northampton's D3 service to Daventry via the villages is unchanged.  Rugby's service 11, Long Buckby to Daventry, is now D4.
D1 and D2 are now operated by Rugby which brings Rugby's Dart/Pointers to Northampton on a regular basis.  They include examples such as 34592 which, several years ago, was branded for the Daventry Darts.

Some Northampton E200s have presumably been moved to Rugby, probably those branded for the Daventry services.  Confirmation from the Warwickshire Stagecoach experts would be very welcome.

34627 (which is meant to be Nuneaton Reserve) was out on the D1 / D2 today. Looking at the timetable, I think that Northampton may be still operating some journeys which start at Northampton, as well as the D3 service. I never saw any of the D1 / D2 / D3 branded buses today.

4776 has been named Dympna. 4775 however still remains unnamed.
