Word of warning, where buses go to initially isn't necessarily their permanent home. At the moment I am using cascades out just to fill holes left by withdrawals during reduced timetables. 4775/6 have gone to YW to cover for the loss of 4550/2

Are these Coventry deckers going to be repainted into crimson?

Just my luck, according to BusTimes, 4776 was on the 2 I just missed by a couple of minutes when travelling home this evening!

No time wasted getting both out into service this afternoon!

4776 has already broken down this morning over there as well

Has there been enough extra charging points fitted within Coventry garage to facilitate the new buses now arriving?

More than enough, an extra 60 were commissioned before any entered service

I'm pretty sure that as the new EVs arrive and go into service, they will be used on any double-deck route.

Sadly by sometime in 2024, there'll be no such thing as a 'noteworthy working' in Coventry.

Yeah it's going to be boring in a way because we'll just be seeing the same buses everywhere
