Are Geminis on the 42 unusual? I thought they and ALX400s were used.

42 supposed to be a Merc on Saturday.

Is an enviro on the 13 really that unusual now? It seems to be more of a regular occurence as of late, I'm sure there are days with more than one enviro on the 13.

As alluded to by another post is anything unusual in Coventry, perhaps we should retitle the thread as infrequent workings!
Like a lot of unusual workings they tend to be last buses out and could have originally been intended to leave the depot on earlier boards.
The 13 working concerned runs dead to Whitmore Park and runs through the city centre to Willenhall just before 8 a.m.

Tonights 21 branded E400 on the 12 was 4836.
Also at around 18:15 I seen an 8/8A branded e400 (couldn't catch fleet no.) up by sainsburys in canley not in service! I wonder what route it was going onto? By the looks of things it was about to go onto the 6 or 6A?

2155 was used on the 12 in the morning peak this morning coming out last of all just after 1678 and 2174.
1608 replaced 4211 on 6/6A
4831 used all day on 13 (as commented before getting more usual)
4835 was seemingly "nicked" from 21 at about 15:15 to seemingly work a school bus.
Lauren was it definately an 8 you saw?

lauren1993

Yes, definately an 8 branded. I seen the purple branding etc and it wasn't in service. It turned to go up tile hill lane past dominos, the same way the 6 goes!
