36757 tracking on the 41s? Another loan I suspect?

If you look on bus times then you can see 37111 has Gona back to Nuneaton. I'm guessing it's a loan but don't quote me

36153, 37175, 36757 on loan to rugby? Is there some sort of shortage going on

Yes, if you can see on bus times the buses that are on route are Leamington depot buses

There is more information on the Warwickshire County Council website about Stagecoach electric buses for Warwickshire:-
https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/news/article/5533/27-all-electric-buses-on-their-way-as-zero-emission-scheme-is-approved

Two items of interest:

  • Stagecoach are providing 64.8% of the funding for the Warwickshire scheme (using 27 buses) which was announced a few months ago.
  • Stagecoach are getting a further 64 electric buses (including 31 double deckers :smiley: ) from the Coventry all-electric bus city scheme for commercial services between Warwickshire and Coventry.  The services involved are the 56, 57, 148, 86, X17, X18 and U1/U2.

The bridge at Long Lawford on the 86 route is 11' 3". Are the electrics small enough to get under there? I remember there being an issue with the bridge in Bournville that the NX 27 currently uses, as it seems the electrics wouldn't be small enough to get under the 9' 9" bridge.

Wrights Kites are 11'1" which I think are the tallest single decks

Just a little warning to any drivers in or around Coventry, Nuneaton and Leamington tomorrow. If you see someone wielding a tiny camera in their hands tomorrow it could be me. I promise not to bite unless I'm hungry.....
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

You won't be the only one with a smallish Camera out tomorrow, but I'll be on the 56 at some point - being more interested in Rugby (sport, not location) & the beer afterwards  :laugh:
