I've seen a vid of a Coventry electric on the X1 which has had a pretty nasty accident by looking at it. I've heard that it's E062 involved and that the bus is a write off, I don't believe this being how new they are. Anyone able to confirm anything please?

i think it will most likely get repaired but tony will confirm it 

a

No it's not a loan,  it's a BC bus on a BC running board

apologies tony wasn't aware of a bc running board on the 14

i'm currently on 4470 on the 14 towards chelmsley wood is this a loan if so how long for do we know 

2231 has got new red Price branding on it

any pictures?

Incident at the top of Aston Church Road caused the diversions.I was on a diamond 94 to town & ended up down Alum Rock Road,what a nightmare road with both side parking leaving little passing room for buses

delays we're up too an hour diversion route wasnt the very best 5-6 busses all together on that stretch including the 14

4934 currently has come to a halt on the 94 due to a police incident/crime scene in Ward End at the junction with Bamville Road.
Passengers were instructed by driver to get off and walk to the Fox & Goose as it wouldn't be going any further.

stabbing incident road was closed between bamville road and st agatha's road

BC Ward End 94/95 routes are very platinum today.  X2 branded 6833 on there as well.
Maybe BC will get the ex Warwick University ones from Coventry for them, when they leave Coventry.

95% is platinum just the one E400 operating on it 14 has a mixture of busses

4614 completed final 14 journey operated by BC going too be a very wierd sighting seeing gemini on the 14 since all i have seen are tridents majority of my life 

The 71 daily has a 28 Branded.

A lot of 7 Branded on 65/67

7 inter works with 67 in evening

I mean the E200MMCs could go PB for 8A/8C and AG get the 11/12X platinums from CV. CV has the same amount of Platinums as 4/4A brandeds

CV platinums will most likely be the last busses too go as the older vehicles will be withdrawn or cascaded first most likely 

7518 was on the X13 with a smashed back window @Tony theres been several busses with broken rear windows upstairs can anything be done too avoid or catch culprits because that's another bus off road now

6137 was a victim of an arson attack on Stoney Lane while on the 11C today

driver said it was a group of boys upstairs driver was shaken up by it hands were trembling whilst he was holding the duty board but honestly all hands up too him for getting all passengers off the bus safely and even trying too go and extinguish the fire with the on board fire extinguisher nothing else the driver could've done in that moment the fire was out of control spreaded very quickly

6137 completly gutted by fire on the upper deck, aparant arson

yes unfortunately i have a few pictures but they're too big 

yes this got stuck in the morning on the turn from hurst lane onto chester road was stuck for around 5 mins another diamond driver on 94 had too get out and guide him

Had my first experience today of an ex Claribels Optare Versa. A newly repainted example on the 94.
Wasn't keen. Weird door, cramped and very uncomfortable seats. However other passengers were heard commenting on what a posh bus it was with its leather seats and seatbelts.

Meanwhile I had Jubilee bus on the 50 (32134) and was a nice ride, apart from the sluggish uphill crawl along Alcester Road South, which lead to a nice convoy of traffic behind! I'd of preferred one of the Versa's, those things have a lot more power!

seen a fresh repainted ex claribels on 94 today must say they look very smart
