Is the 99 on Diverson as its just came down Calthorpe Road (Five Ways). Either that or he is lost ?. How would it return to normal line of route from there towards Halesowen ?

[Nathan4775]

I can answer my own question =D, yes it is on Diversion, road works around the 99 route are resulting in it being on Diversion (:

The 966 does a school run AM college days and gets into Solihull Station at around 8:30/8:45 I think will double check though

The 966 journey is a short working from Heathland Avenue at 0717 getting into Solihull at 0825. This vehicle then goes on to operate the 97 for the remainder of the day, and is frequently operated by a branded 97 vehicle.

No it doesn't. You will never go to BC Monday to Friday daytime and find 6 hybrids not out

I think they're talking about a Sunday Tony.

I think it's less than 12 Hybrids that are required to cover the 22/23 and 24 on a Sunday. The Sunday PVR of the 22 is 6 buses I believe, and there are 3 buses on the 24.

I stand to be corrected by BC drivers past or present.

[Nathan4775]

Yup I'm on about Sunday, regards to Monday - Friday if I'm not corrected all Hybrids are out with a Trident thrown in at peak times

Does anyone know if Central  are going to running any journeys on the  new 72 TT when it starts then?

[Nathan4775]

4200-4202 recently transferred BC - PN

4218 is undergoing some form of long term repair work I think

I believe 4218 was fire damaged not long after entering service new at CV so they repaired it and sent it to BC or whichever garage it went to iirc?

It was new to Coventry, then when it was 3 months old, this happened

A firework set off on top deck while working a school service

It was repaired, but reinstated to Yardley Wood, I guess they needed an extra Trident at the time, for the Weoley Castle routes 21 and 29, or one of their other routes

Yes, it was involved in an crash with a bin lorry than ran a red light, and is under repair. I would like to see it either reutn to Coventry, or go on to Pensnett when repaired.

This is what makes 4218 my favourite bus in the fleet, because it is different from all of the rest of the Coventry Y-TOH Tridents, and it has a story to it
