UniLink Enviro400's

[Valandil]

Wow, this is unexpected!
Are these current professors they are named after?

Unfortunately, the new Enviros seem to be displacing the X17-branded vehicles onto the U1 (combined with a 68-branded Versa there were at least 3 single-deckers on there this afternoon).

The naming is after the founders of the University:

Also, the U1's are finding it very hard to do anything like the printed timetable.
Stagecoach seems to be using X17-branded vehicles to increase the number of vehicles on the route:

All of the old habits seem still to be around this year.
Already I have seen vehicles on the U1 with broken displays and many different 'brands' working on the route (X15/X18, 68, X17 as well as obviously Unibus).

Every year for the first few weeks of term the same happens for both the U1 and the NXWM 11/12. It was like it when I was involved 20 years ago. 50% of Warwick Uni students are foreign students and are still finding there way around

You are right Tony every year. In the future these students need to be able to buy and obtain Swift before they even get to the Midlands to study.

Tony are there going to be NX Coventry tickets/products what they are called on Swift that will allow usage in Warwickshire on the 11 to Leamington and 20 to Bedworth?
The 256 going through Staffordshire would be similar only with NXWM, and there are obviously other NXWM routes that go into surrounding counties too.

It's been common during term times throughout the years. Back in 4-5 years ago when I was on the uni, I'd seen Dart, B10M & even Solo cascading on the U1 during the weekdays, and of course all sorts of Olympians branded or unbranded (even got saw Leyland 14023 once).

[Valandil]

Yep, it's definitely happened before, but I'm pretty sure not to this extent.

One of the new Enviro 200's worked onto evening runs until about 11pm last night.
I'm pretty sure that's avoidable.

Nice!
Do you know whether it also went out on any 16's?
I've not quite worked out the boards yet, but hope to over the coming weeks :)

[trident4370]

tbh I didn't see it come back at all, all I saw on the 16 was a Solo, 2 Olympians and a Trident. 10034 was on the X18 if that helps. Also saw "reserve" 33397 and 33911 on the G1.
