Appreciate I'm restricted by forum rules,  but  certainly in Coventry's case the second batch were bought when Bendys were seen as the latest thing and could make an impression outside the station.

4454 Operating an 18E to Prior Dream walk.


^Emphasis on the E which makes this unusual, rather than the vehicle allocation.
And yes, I know this happened before.

I am aware, its just they get buried so easily I thought it would be better placed here.

That's quite interesting, and I'm sad not to have seen it!
Do you know why this happened?
Was it a short 18 or 18a?

I think it applied only to the 18, as I saw an 18A just after with a normal destination.
I'm not sure why in this case, but I'd presume it would be because of the roadworks. If anybody know's any different please let me know :)

Gemini's seem to be reocurring on the 42.
27A usually seems odd to me at least :)
