@Sh4318 blimey! I bet you're shattered. And I thought I had a long day...

@Matt Tired isn't even the word :-\. Safe to say the majority of tomorrow will be spent in bed. Still, managed to have a decent B9 bash, not by choice!

I want to do a Coventry bash involving both the 10 and 23. I was thinking something along the lines of 6A to Broad Lane, 10 to Allesley Old Road, 23 to Coventry
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87
