Don't know whether it will last all day, but at the moment Coventry don't have a single diesel double deck on the road. All duties are being operated by Electrics or B7RLEs

Driving around Coventry this morning and only seeing electric buses was quite the spectacle! I guess this will only become a more common thing to see as time progresses

100% hopefully they'll be out the whole day as well in future and not have to be replaced with a diesal in the evening

I'd guess it is some demonstrator?

That fleetnumber has been used in the past for other demonstrators used in service:

This will be the forth number 1908 ! (NXD 2030 was once 1908 - but this vehicle isn't numbered either 1908 or 2030 now).
