This appeared in the news section of the NXC website on 3rd June:
http://nxbus.co.uk/coventry/news/pool-meadow-bus-station-stand-changes-

But this came into effect from March, didn't it?
The URL seems to suggest so, as do the words 'March 2014' on the image.

Finally, 4839 got through a whole day without failing (near enough) I seen her in service at 17:45, still on the 21!! :D

It turns out that there were some changes to the 900 from today.
You would really have had to have gone digging on the website to find this out, but:
"[The 900 will now] use the A45 between the M42 & Stonebridge Island, no longer serving the bus stops on the slip roads in between (jct 6)."
I am willing to bet that there will be quite a few intending customers baffled by their lack of service round about now!

The 900 is also using a new road parallel to the A45 coming out at Elmdon Airport entrance. If you look on Centro's website the link to the Solihull map shows this revised route but not the changes at National Motorcycle museum.
No timetables are available.

Haha, that's great!
Was it just staggering around the depot with that, or was it actually out and about?

Lifted up in the air on the back of a recovery truck was either Volvo B7TL 4424 (or Trident 4224) on Allard Way yesterday [Mon] around 2pm.

JoNi

Probably 4424 as it was subbed on 16.

4687 seemed to have a front display not working (displaying nothing) today.

4690 is now at Carlyle Bus & Coach

Unlikely to be 4424! 4424 is one of the most reliable buses in the fleet! It was (hopefully) 4224!

A used bus shelter has been installed outside Browns reinstating the stop in what is now a one way street eastbound. The road is currently being closed at night to allow resurfacing to take place.
Proper tarmac not bricks that last 5 minutes!
