National Express Coventry - Unusual Workings

[Trident 4609]

I'm counting this as an unusual working.
One evening this week on the 7, a driver missed the turn* from Barker Buts lane on to Courtland Ave. when working towards Brownshill Green.
As such, the bus continued up the Hollyfast road to the Norman Place road bus terminus before coming back down and taking the correct turn.

As such it replicated the old 75!

(*He must have thought he was on a 5 working, else he wouldn't have known where to turn around.)

Not really an unusual working as An Unusual Working is when a type of bus is used on a route that isn't usually allocated that type EG a Double Decker on Coventry 4 (Mon-Sat) or Single Decker on Coventry 21 which is usually allocated Enviro400 Double Deckers.

Can't promise these are unusual as I'm not a regular Coventry visitor but saw them today and they looked out of place so here goes...
4319 - 2/3
4688 - 42
Unidentified Merc on the 9A

Those are all good spots

Good Spot, rarely sees Doubles

Isn't the 42 allocated doubles, last time I was there though it was 21** but seen several ALX's on there not a Gemini though

I don't know much about Coventry but that sounds rare!

Aren't there 1 or 2 bendys on the 21 a day? Or was that before the new Enviros entered service?

Not unusual. There is nearly always a Bendi on the 21. It has been discussed numerous times before

Me being the novice to Coventry service, I'm used to seeing Enviros on the 21 so this surprised me

[Valandil]

2153 is on the 18(A) today.

The relevance of 6016 was it had 4 in big numbers on the side. 6020 and 6021 haven't got branding, but I appreciate its the order they are parked outside the garage not the branding which reflects which working they end up on.

[OH25]

don't know if they are unusual but:
4693 on the 2
4452 on the 23
4401 on the 16A

[JoNi]

Doubles now appear everyday on 2/3 and 23 every day now. 4453 in Coventry livery was on 2/3 yesterday.
As mentioned by others in this thread before Geminis seem to get on every route worked by double deckers.
