National Express Coventry - Unusual Workings

[John]

The 16/16A is a mix of Volvo and Dennis ALX's with Mercs

E400's on the 13 are id say unusual at anytime but Enviro's plural is odd

It's usually Gemini's/Tridents/B7 ALX400's that operate the 13 so I'd say the Enviros on the 13 are unusual :)

I do find that most type of deckers at Coventry get put on the 13, last time I was  there, there was only 2 Geminis, and a mix of Enviros, Tridents and B7TL/ALX400s

Tridents are common on the 2 now (or at least they seem to be in the mornings).

4890 - 18/18A

4890. What a spot!

The tridents do suit the 2/3 , 4452 was the first I seen on there. But thanks ben now I know for when I'm in Cov again.

Good photo Nathan :)

1678 on the 12.   (My favourite of the Mercedes btw, its the quality of the seats that does it for me)

Now I know you will say that isn't rare since they do appear. But usually not for the diagram/working (if thats the right word) that gets into Coventry city centre for about 15:55

Are NXC a Trident down? Or is this just luck of the draw? I'm new to this really, I loved buses as a kid and am just getting back into it, I have no idea how these matters are actually handled.

Thanks Ash(:

Good spot IMO with the Gemini on the 4, and you even got a Stagecoach Enviro on the 16 in the same.


B7's are more often on the 5 now and Tridents on the 2/3 has been discussed above.

About 3/4 doubles out on the 4 today, one replaced 6013, which had a bit of the rear bumper falling off.
