If being the word.

Quote from: GoldenSquid on August 24, 2023, 09:53:12 PMAs far as I know Bromford Rota used to be
60/X12/X13
then
X12/X13/X14
and will be
X2/X12/X13
That's correct

It will when BC closes in around 2-2.5 years

Quote from: 2206 on August 24, 2023, 07:28:03 PMAre the early morning International - City journeys going to Coventry as well? Presuming these will still run?
Don't quote me, but I'm presuming they'll stay at BC as a few drivers quite like doing them
I could be wrong though

AG is only around the corner from Cranes Park, it would make more sense

Quote from: Owen on August 26, 2023, 01:44:39 PMThe 72 + 17 would probably swap for X2 + 60 when the time comes.
And I believe there wouldn't need to be an allocation of single deckers at AG.

With Coventry getting the X1, shouldn't that leave Bc with quite a few more buses extra. I was thinking another route would gain the platinum's... but more than likely the 46** will be discarded somewhere else to even everything out perhaps

They won't have extra buses though with the transfer of the 14 back from PB

The X1 and 14 have a higher pvr than the X14. So x1 leaving would leave leave some extra buses somewhere.

Quote from: Coventrybususer95 on September 01, 2023, 06:53:41 PMWhat's the PVR for the x1
It doesn't have one at the moment as it is combined with the X2
