Those are rollers, aren't they?

No they are not...
Roll blinds /roll bands are a paper like material to which has the destinations printed on them. They are rolled to display the desired destination. Some roll bands can be very long in length as they have such large amounts of destinations on them for each service.

It's that time of the month again!

Enjoy reading my latest edition of the Coventry Bus Magazine...

Nuneaton does not have 39698, and has never had 39698...

Clearly @YN64AOG has been reading yesterday's post on the Steven Knight Media site.

If in doubt whether a vehicle's noteworthy or not, refer to my spreadsheet to prevent arguing and edit if necessary.

Crimson 4624 and 4625 are in use at Coventry, one was on 12x's

I managed to catch up with 4625 on the 11 so 4624 was presumably the 12X one.

That's your spreadsheet? Blimey that's a lot of effort you've gone to. Very useful for me. Thanks a lot.

Yes, I made on for De Courcey & Diamond as well. I'm glad it's useful.

Can someone confirm the allocation for routes X17, X18 & X19?

It's on my spreadsheet. The link is on the first post in this thread.

Are they in trouble already? Most the fleet appears to be for sale

Do you happen to have a link to this @jc ?

They seem to have a Wright Streetlite - MX12CFU

It is very poor if they can't runs services at all. If they can't run so many services, why bother. They should have just stuck with the 8A & 9A in my opinion rather than starting more services.
