I see from BusTimes that Rugby now have their Yutongs in service, since June 11th.

Before anyone asks, no, you won't see any sneak onto Birmingham routes.

Including the Sundays only 85A Coventry - Rugby. today. Possibly the first use of a single deck EV on this route?

It will have to become a regular occurrence, it is a bus that goes into Coventry after all, and all buses will need to be electric before the end of this year.

Let's see how long this lasts before another delay

I haven't really heard the general take on this, or really much about it in general compared to NX's liveries, but I'm really not a fan of this new SC livery. I personally really enjoy the local livery and hope it isn't being phased out completely like the gold one is. 🤔

Are these hot takes? 😅

and this morning it looks like the SC 86 Coventry - Rugby route is also now using single deck EV's.

I agree, it's pretty dull the new livery, the local one has a lot of 'flare' to it I'd say.

Operatored by Nuneaton or rugby or both

This Will be Run by Nuneaton Depot

Guessing this will fit in with the 85 no longer being a NXC route somehow, as parts of the route are similar Brinklow/Monks Kirby-Rugby.

Hopefully it'll be in addition to the current 74/85. Ansty's current bus services are rather poor to say the least. When the new head office for Frasers Group gets built the area may need some more services anyway.
