Will the stop announcements on the Hybrid buses be updated at any point? As some of them are out of date. And will the 24/29 routes be added?

Speaking of which, the X1 still says "Bishops Street" when inbound into Coventry City Centre instead of Upper Wells Street, Corporation Street and Pool Meadow Bus Station.

If you want to go to Walsall, why would you get a bus to Tamworth, only to get a bus back to Lichfield?
The 16:00 from Burton does get into Lichfield at 16:22, 35B to Walsall arrives at 16:23, though if the X12 is late you may end up missing the last 35B.

That's why I added Tamworth in as it is always nice to go to various places and was weary with a delay on the X12

Yeah but I'd have to either use my Nbus to Walsall then  get to Lichfield via Arriva, as theres only one Central bus per day each direction, then X12 to Burton or Daysaver to either Sutton, Four Oaks or Mere Green & X12 from there.

Then you have to be careful you come back early enough as well!

@Westy - All it needs is a bit of planning!
08:30 35B Walsall Bus Stn to Lichfield Bus Stn 09:24
09:50 812 Lichfield Bus Stn - Burton, New Street 11:02
14:20 X12 Burton, New Street - Lichfield Bus Stn 14:42
14:55 X55 Lichfield Bus Stn - Tamworth, Corp. Street 15:15
15:50 X55 Tamworth, Corp. Street - Lichfield Bus Stn 16:10
16:23 35B Lichfield Bus Stn to Walsall Bus Stn 17:20

Are 6012/16 officially withdrawn? I assume they are, 6016 has been dumped alongside the fence at the corner of Cox St/Ford St which is never a good sign! 

6012 has joined 6016 at the front by the fence as pictured here: https://www.facebook.com/369276339910972/photos/a.418873688284570.1073741977.369276339910972/696051607233442/?type=3&theater

Was just thinking: with the introduction of the 120A, being *supposedly* operated from WB (without trying starting a whirlpool that goes off topic) would there be a set allocation? Or are we expected to be met with a mixed allocation? - which, in WB's case, is quite a varied bag (E200s, Omnilinks, B7TL ALX400, Enviro 400s)

I believe it will be operated by Scania Omnilinks at West Bromwich garage.

NXC had a separate story I noticed: http://nxbus.co.uk/coventry/news/vroom-with-a-view-
