You believe wrong, Bus is not involved and carried on once the road was clear

Yeah

Road is now open

Tiah Joy and a Coventry E400EV are currently stationary on Coventry Road as the entire road is closed, I believe the Coventry bus is involved as it's right up where the road is closed with several police vehicles, and is currently occupying two lanes.

Or the 3 litres of White Lightning!

Oh don't get me started on White Lightning

Give it chance. It's just been return from Alexander Dennis after serious RTC repairs, the rest of the livery is on order, but A-D don't stock our vinyls

I see, that makes complete sense now, I was unsure about the history of the bus. Believed it was brand new to service

I did not think the standards for liveries could go any lower, I've just seen E181 in service today and it's yet another permutation of the livery but even worse. the side stripe doesn't even go the entire height of the bus anymore, it's literally ONLY on the space between the adboard and top and bottom windows, the front-side red and grey electric branding (above the door) doesn't extend to the front anymore and is cut off where the panel stops, the front electric branding is omitted, as well as the rear-side stripes. the grey pinstripe that goes along the headlights to the rear of the bus has gaps with no pinstripe in it.

i've just looked at pictures of the bus online and, its in a worse shape now than it was in february? but it's only just entered service? it's as if these stickers have been manually removed with no replacement, because it looks "adequate" in past photos.

the red stripe also isn't even symmetrical, it goes up the height of the bus on one side, but not on the other. what actually gives? i'm not even complaining i just genuinely want to know what on earth happened here

Where's it say on the bus that is E334 everybody guessing that it is 

because NX74 ZEB is E334, also this

Nasty collision & fire near Heathrow last night reported by Sky

that looks absolutely horrendous, rip to those lost

10th august 2025 on the cards at the moment

for?

It is more useful for passengers. I noticed the other day when looking at the timetable for the 3 (West Brom to Merry Hill), that it also shows the evening journeys that are run by Carolean.

Anyone just looking at the NX timetable might think there's no service in the evening, but now they know.

It's absolutely so helpful, take it from me, someone who uses 16/16A (although it's not combined like the others) if it was, there'd be an instant improvement in user experience for me

Oh is it some test to make routes that are run by multiple operators show on the same map? e.g 16/16A (kind of), 50 (kind of), 40, etc.

It also shows similar routes on top of eachother, namely 4/4H/4M, 23/24, 82/87, 45/47, 97/97A, X3/X4/X5, 65/67, 94/95, 51/X51, 11A/11C, 8A/8C, 934/935/936/937/937A, 12/12A, 13/13A, 8/X8, 61/63, 20/20A, 34/37/39, etc

Good. 31 route now shows all buses on it

Oh is it some test to make routes that are run by multiple operators show on the same map? e.g 16/16A (kind of), 50 (kind of), 40, etc.

Diamond 32261 and 30120 shows up on NXWM's vehicle map

For clarity - I am not simply trying to push the price up. 

I intend to work until the day I die.  I turn 49 this month.  I am aiming to work/live until I am 100.  Therefore I have 51 years of work left. 

The depot at Tividale is central to everything I want to do.  Therefore no amount of money - will fill the gap of 51 years of work.
