Coventry electric buses

[Coventrybususer95]

Some buses have the letter R after the fleet nos. What's this for? Is it reserve?

Are you taking about The bus named after the late Queen?

Thats the only one with an R in the fleet number

I'm not sure if the bus was named after the queen. Only seen the bus from behind

E052 displays the random fleetnumber of E1952R, but that's the only one.

I noticed that the R was in open closed brackets. Not seen this before

I've no idea what you're referring to then E1952R doesn't have brackets, and no other buses have an R on the fleet number

If it's E052 (from looking at Flickr images it appears it is) then it is the one named after the queen

E276 went back to Yardley Wood.

As for why they are not tracking, see Tony's reply here:

When will NXC be introducing single deck EV's on the rural routes? Does this have to be done before 2026?

I dont think singles have been ordered as there's people are saying cv will be going fully double decker

Cov arent getting single deckers

Thks. Plenty of spare seats then on the rural routes unless another operator takes over with EV single deckers?

We're losing the rugby work and 20B being changed to terminate in the old terminus

Is there any info to be found as to whether this will this include the 85s since they're mostly decker ran now? And would the 24/25/(85s if included) be ran by Stagecoach? Baginton hasn't got great service as it is, unless they want to get off near the Airport on the 13 after quite a long route comparatively speaking and walk.

It's another one of these anomalies where Baginton falls outside the West Midlands area so unless Warwickshire CC want to subsidise a service there they're stuck unfortunately.
