I could have swore it was a 55 but I may be mistaken!

I suppose it depends what time it was. I can't remember what time the 56 starts in the evening.

On Saturday & Sunday I believe they start about 10 am & run all day every hour as part of the 56/70 combo before the changes. Its only Monday - Friday they start about 19:00

Not on a Saturday. The 56 is an Evenings and Sunday only route

I wasn't 100% sure about the Saturday service being right so thanks for the clarification @John

All 55 running boards were tracking yesterday, and all show Scanias operating all day. Only think I can think of was it was a 59 and you couldn't see the very right the blind making the 9 look like a 5. The 59s, along with all Coventry Road services sometimes are on diversion up and down The Priory Queensway and back along Moor Street to avoid the car park queues on Park Street

Only saw 3 29s on my way into work this morning but all 3 were double deckers, 4878, 4187 and 4629.

@John Stait
Tridents are normally common on 60
Since main allocation is E400's usually a few tridents work on routes aswell

[busboy31]

4878 was on the 9 yesterday morning.

[Squiz1971]

4878 was on the 9 yesterday morning.

BC cover early morning 9's before going either back to depot or on the 829 school run about 9:30ish. There is posts in this thread about this as it is a daily occurrence @busboy31
