One of the unbranded Enviro 200MMC was on the Coventry Road this afternoon out of service. Going towards the Swan shopping centre

Next stop info also available on

Wolverhampton 1
Birmingham 22/23
Dudley 222

The 900 and 957 also have the next stop announcements @Stuharris 6360 
The X51, 997, 934, 935, 936 and 997 also have it

Not really noteworthy @RS , as Geminis are also used throughout the week, but surprising for a Sunday really, with the reduced numbers of buses required, one might expect all E200s on Sunday now.

The Jaguar 37s don't run on Sunday so, in my opinion fairly Noteworthy for a Sunday. @Stu

71 and 72 branded Enviro 200MMC - 37
Think its 2239

Now NXWM has withdrawn Mercedes 0405s, B6s and B10s are there any operators operating vehicles with front roller blinds for destination blinds and numbers?

Please can give examples of any operators / vehicles you are aware of.

Was this going to PVS @Tony ?

Have AG got 4041 yet?

Sorry Tony don't think I read it properly before posting.

News from TBC:

An eyewitness of the coventry bus crash describes the moment of panic, she said "I was leaving the store and walking away when I heard a horn and screaming, followed by a loud bang... I turned around to see a bus lodged in the front of sainsbury's... it was horrible seeing the children trapped under the seats and the bus staircase mangled."

A sainsbury's spokesperson confirmed none of the store's colleagues were injured.

WM Police last night confirmed two fatalities, and the families were told...


As the manager of The Bus Channel, I would like to wish my deepest condolences for the families of the deceased and hope for a speedy recovery for all of those injured.

Details of when the store will be back to normal have yet to be released.

@Liam
It was on BBC News last night
and they said WM Police confirmed a 8 year old boy was confirmed dead and a 75 year old woman. A 9 year old girl has been left seriously injured and is in hospital.

Thanks for informing me that I had made that mistake.
@Nathan

Coming back along the A45 around Coventry at about 6 30pm I was surprised to see a Merc, 157-something, in service at Canley. Anyone know which one it was?

1579

I intend to visit the garage tomorrow but the 297 doesn't operate on Sundays. Any other way ?!

Get the 205 - Diamond
