QuoteJust to clarify, what Swift card do you have?
It's a Swift card including zone 1-5, along with a add-on which includes rugby

Unlike on NX/Diamond etc buses (where you hold the card on the reader), try holding the card 2-3 inches over the sensor.

 - Works for me every time on Stagecoach Rugby vehicles  :wink:

There're a lot slower than Init to issue tickets when paying by cash or contactless.

According to my search on the Web, Centrebus,  Grant Palmer and Big Lemon use vix machines too

I saw an A9 today travelling along the Chester Road towards Kingshurst. I was amused to see branding on the side of the bus, although I couldn't work out which branding it was. Looking at bustimes, it seems that it is the "D1/D2/D3" branded 37064.

Which brings me onto the 48 branded buses at Nuneaton. The 48 as its stated route hasn't existed since around the start of Covid, and the 148 started in April.

I haven't seen any attempt for them to change the branding on these, just a few have been repainted.

Even just debranding the Gold MMCs would be better than branding a route that no longer exists.

Might have asked this before so apologies if so,but can nBus tickets be bought on Stagecoach buses in Coventry? 
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.
