relocation of coventry scanias

[Stuharris 6360]

The first of 3 of the coventry scanias are leaving the garage today as 4 new buses have come in. I have been told by the guy sorting them out that they are destined for wolverhampton !!!!
He said some or possible all of them may go to walsall thoughThey cant be used on the 38 due to thw low bridge by bradford place


What route do people think they will be used on in wolves that is if they are going there?

I think its highly unlikely any will go to WN, Merc & B7RLE are the standard types there...... it's more likely to be PB or WA as previously suggested to replace further B10L's or even YW

Just so long as PE don't get any, think they are horrid buses.

I dunno Stu, it would add a bit a variety at PE. I would have thought at some point some Omnilinks may appear at a garage that doesn't currently operate the type

1606 was seen parked at Miller Street last Sunday, so assume it's left Coventry for good.

Pretty sure 1605 & 1609 are there as well and may be a couple more

Thanks Tony. This was the only Coventry one I could see from the road other than withdrawn 1562 which sustained accident damage in Allesley while on the 7 to Brownshill Green ages ago.
