One of the E400 Parked up on Jennens Road earlier tonight waiting time before starting late night services had 900 Coventry via Airport on the blinds.
I guess they kept that on there for historical significance.

Yeah found the blind whilst I was on break 😂

Any idea what's happened to 4889? Not been in service since it was repainted...

So any insider gossip on the 2 new sites yet, or are tfwm looking for them with all this political change ?

I'm sure any gossip would be posted if there was any. And anyone in the actual know probably wouldn't say anything anyway.

[monkeyjoe]

Worth a try though, really curious if it will be tfwm looking for the sites now as part of the franchising plan ?

Do BC/PB buses share a destination display database with the main NX services?

Can't quite find a suitable place to put this, but as it relates to BC services, here we are.

The 94 and 95 service has had for quite a while a Monday to Friday service listed as every 5-7 minutes between certain hours. The timetable at bus stop has been quite need at tidy.

The new ones at bus stops replaced the last couple of days are as long as a novel. There's a Monday to Thursday service and a Friday service, all listed as separate times. With only a very small handful of timing differences throughout the day. Who was responsible for that layout?! Every 5-7 minutes during the day still work. And the odd minor change on Fridays can be listed separately without the current mess.

I agree it's the same as the 17 timetable, far too complicated

Is it that journey times are not as busy on fridays as more people working at home so the intermediate timing points change, how else should they document that? Tricky one really.

Easy, You do a timetable for Monday to Thursday and a separate timetable for Friday
