18103 is a Stagecoach bus Nathan. Tridents are on X15/X18 daily, 18189 and 18190 carry route branding. Leamington and stratford share the route so you get Tridents from either garage appear

Back to NXC...

Always nice to get a proper bus on CV21

[lauren1993]

Only 4891 and 4894 out of the 8/8A branded Enviros have appeared on 21. 4890, 4891, 4892 and 4893 have all appeared on 11/12! 4894 is yet to appear on 11/12 and 4890, 4892 and 4893 are yet to appear on the 21! 4893 has in the past 4 weeks been on the 6/6A, 11/12, 18/18A and the 23! 4892 was on the 11/12 last Thursday.

I'm sure all the unbranded plastic deckers have done 11s and 12s, the former is yet another mega route ruined by eco warriors

Every single Enviro in Coventry has done the 11/12 apart from 4894!

[Ashley]

That one has 8/8A branding so probably not one they'll stick on unless they really have to

Hi Ashley,

I'm just wondering what you mean by this.
Are you referring to the route of the 11 specifically, or the type of vehicles used, or something else?
Either way, I can't quite work out what's wrong as things stand.

8 branded 4891 was on 13 yesterday!.
The 4 was also all Bendibus which is first time for a while when it hasn't had a double decker on a Monday to Saturday.

[Ashley]

I mean the 11 is a good route and id prefer tridents or b7tls on there rather than enviros as good as they are in their own ways

[lauren1993]

Saturday was a good one! 4452 and 4213 (I think) on 21!
2157, 2175 and 2177 on 23!
Today: 2157 on the 1, 2175 on the 2/3 and 2174 on the 23.

[Ashley]

Lauran. B7RLE's are now the main allocation on CV23

[Nathan4775]

Ash do you know the. Allocation to the 2/3 or doesn't it have a fixed allocation

[JoNi]

Nathan,
The 2/3 can be double or single deck on M-F, with the actual allocation reflecting vehicle availability..
ALX 400s appear with the occasional Gemini, but Enviros are extremely rare.
Some days one bus which runs to last thing at night is a Wright B7. This also works 23 journeys to Allesley Park.

On Saturdays all 2/3 daytime buses are supposed to be Mercs, one evening bus is a Wright B7 as the route is interworked with the 23.

On Sundays (and Boxing Days!) the 2/3 and 23 now use modern Wright B7s branded for route 20.
