COVENTRY MERC 0405N 1636

[t.w.moore]

CAN ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT COVENTRY'S 0405N 1636....as far as I know it came to Coventry last year, as a replacement for the Coventry 0405N's that had been withdrawn, replaced by the new buses. It came with 1634, 1635, and 1678.

The query is 1636 is in the Travel Coventry colours, dark blue, light blue and white, where as 1634, 1635,1678 are in sky blue and white. I cannot recall 1636  in the fleet before last summer

I must admit I have never seen 1635, I was told it is sky blue and white, it is said its been out of service for some time since its transfer to Coventry waiting repairs.

Can anyone help me to caption the pics I have of 1636?

1636 together with 1548/1608/1612/1655 remain in the earlier TC livery (with NXC vinyls obviously) all the others carry NXC livery. I'm assuming those five still remain in service at Coventry.

Thanks for details about 1636, I can see now it was still in the Blue, red and white West Midland colours before its transfer to Coventry, and I had not known it was in Coventry as early as Dec 2012.
