What buses are the new volvos replacing?

The 2 B6LEs, all of the OmniLinks which are going elsewhere in NXWM, and a few older 0405Ns in Travel Coventry livery.

I'm sure that what's been said earlier in the thread or another topic

Has anyone seen any of the new B7RLEs in service yet? Or are they being stored for a grand launch day?

[Ashley 4569]

662 was working on the 13/A. 586 was working on the 3/3A at today. 1542 is being to withdrawn. I guess next 1596 or 1602 will be withdrawn. 1597 is really loud when engine turn on always noise " Clamp" every 2-3min during engine working.

[Ashley 4569]

its not clamp its a clunk like you used to get on Metrobuses, hellfire, most Mercs are generally loud anyway, part of their charm amongst enthusiasts.

[6013]

No, 1597 engine is not working well because due to noisy similar sound voice "clamp"
Most CV Mercs are normal sound expect only 1597 is really good condition. 1597 has recently fitted the new advert for weekly prices.

[JoNi]

No new buses on the road yet resulting in vehicle shortage, 586 on 18/A this morning peak and 662 on 3/A. 2153 on 20/A/E.

[6013]

Most likely when new buses will start the service around in later in May or On the 9 June.
