Decided to try and find some Mercs today. 1591 broke down on Coundon Road (heading towards Arena Park) at about half 2, the indicators stopped working. 1579 was the next bus, so it wasn't all bad ;)

Wish I had read the 'buses to find' thread earlier, sounds like I left Arena Park just before 1571 got there.

I saw 4411 on the 5 earlier with 'centro subsidised route' on the side display, is this a new thing or have I just not noticed it before? Also seemed like the side display, along with 4689, scroll much quicker than usual.

I guess its just garage rumours then, I was just repeating what I heard. He did say only one was ready and he didn't know which, so I probably misheard the fleet number (at first I thought he said 4762...).

I'll admit I would have been surprised had one turned up today as it hadn't been mentioned on here already. And I would be even more surprised if they turn up in Coventry with part leather seats.

Didn't think to look at the repaints thread. I'm guessing 4763 is the completed one, with 4764 to follow?

A driver got on the 23 this morning and I overheard him saying that from what he has heard, the first of 2 E400s to transfer to CV is due today. The 2 transferring are 4769, and possibly 4766 (didn't quite catch that one so it might be wrong).

Also mentioned that they will have 11/12 branding, and will have partially leather seats like the 900, though the person he heard this off wasn't 100% about this.

Obviously I don't know how true any of this is, or if I heard correctly, but it does fit with what has been mentioned here before. Would be interesting to see what colour they choose for the branding, I think purple would look quite good.
