[Valandil]

4409 on 9/9a tonight.

[Ash]

4690 on the 10
A trident on the 9

[Valandil]

4206 on the 18(a).
Scania on the 6a too.

[JPC]

Trident again on 18A today - 4212 I think it was
The route change and/or new timetable is possibly a factor for these sudden appearances.

15/03/13

1568 (Merc) - 11 (am)
Gemini on the 10

[Valandil]

4690 was the Gem on the 10 yesterday.
There was also a Trident on the 4 yesterday.

Today, Scania 1871 is on the 5.

[JoNi]

The Trident on the 18/A is a rostered working in the new timetable which also works an 8S to Cardinal Wiseman School at 08:05 before returning to the 18 at 09:18. Last bus on 20 nominally Scania that used to work 19 to Westwood in am peak and returned as 18A now works a 5E from Radford, Everdon Road.

Vehicle shortage persisted with workings cancelled on most weekdays.

Not exactly rare, but here's 2153 on the 20:

Will have pictures of 1874 on the 13 and 4696 on the 21 uploaded soon.  :)

[JoNi]

Due to the ongoing vehicle shortage Geminis appear on the 11/12 as peak workings or as last buses out. See below
The 11s and 12s operate seperately during the daytime.

4687 front destination display fails on an ongoing basis, which lends it to turning up on unusual workings
It worked 7 to Brownshill Green then Middlemarch before working daytime journeys on the 12 as far as the University today.

4694 8S 08:05 Pool Meadow-Cardinal Wiseman and 7  0930 Kingsbury Road - Pool Meadow

4695 11 daytime Leamington Spa workings

2153 mentioned previously was used this afternoon on a peak working that operated

20A 16:50  Coventry - Bell Green - Coventry
