Not sure about the lime green against sky blue but the 9/9A looks good - very Aston Villa.

I see also that 'Styvechale' turned out to be the popular choice of spelling of 'Stivichall'

Maybe they've just programed them all in and it keeps changing throughout

Have any of the omnilinks been transferred out of Coventry yet or is it preference to withdraw some of the older mercs (along with the 2 b6le's that have gone) first. Has it been confirmed for definite where the omnilinks are going.

Not yet, Scanias will be gone around in June! 9/A has nearly complete B7RLE PVR! 20's has 3 B7RLE and some more B7RLE still order for 20's. When 13 B7RLE start on the 20's tht scanias will leave but only 3 B7RLE moment.

This week Old mercs R & S with old livery still around- 1548,1551,1552,1597,1598,1602,1603,1604,1605,1608,1609,1611 and 1612.

1595,1596, and 1606 hasn't enter service in this week possible to withdrawn?

All Scanias were in use today.

1867, 1872 were on 1, all others on 20/A/E except those on unusual workings see appropriate section.

Today, I have been spoken with NXC Inspector in front Bus Station. He say" All mercs still around in coventry expect 1542 are withdrawn and One B6LE at WN and 586 still in garage awaiting for collect it. Start to replace,withdrawn and transferred will be in June."

[Ash]

All the mercs in Coventry are withdrawn very much doubt that even with all the new buses entering service the mercs in NX Coventry livery I would think will remain for now along with any T and V reg Travel Coventry livery mercs.

I take it that 1547 is withdrawn (although still on-site at Coventry possibly) leaving 1548 as the oldest bus still in service?

There was a Travel Coventry liveried Merc at a precarious Angle been worked on in the Miller Street Shed this morning as I was on the 997
