Stagecoach in Coventry & Warwickshire

[2206]

Which routes do Rugby operate within the Coventry area? And thus how many buses would be required to be electric?

Forgive my ignorance, but I only know the Rugby routes that operate in Birmingham!

86, 85A (Sundays)

86, 85A (Sundays)

The 86 is generally hourly, slightly more frequent at peak times, and the peak vehicle requirement (PVR) is probably 4. That said, bustimes shows that 6 buses in all have run on the 86 today.

On Sundays 2 buses are required on the 86, and the service interworks with a Rugby town service (1 to Hillmorton).  The Sunday 85A requires 1 bus.

The Rugby cross-town service that will become electric (4, Brownsover - Cawston  Grange) has a PVR of around 6 buses - and bustimes shows 6 buses in all have run on the 4 today - if I have counted correctly 🤞.

It's understood that the four Yutong E12s for the 86 at Rugby are 73053-56, the four that have gone on loan to Kilmarnock in the meantime (as that depot has a large electric fleet already and chargers in place). Comments from people up there suggest they are due back in "January", so presumably the chargers at Rugby should be in place by then.

Thks for the info. Wonder if they will have the battery range be able to travel down to Rugby in one go without a recharge somewhere? Its a fair old distance.
