The real time sign at Coombe Park Road on Clifford Bridge Road won't be served by any buses that can display real time info!

The 360 which will be mainly known as 60 will cover the Willenhall section on its way. Look at the map I have just created on Google for further information as attached at the bottom.

Thanks for those - the 60 & 61 are still going to be very long routes; sort of south & east along with west & north half-circles instead. I'd under-estimated the length and direction of the 60 I think! I haven't fully checked all the roads they cover - but I assume all the roads served by the 360a/c now will get a replacement service come July, with no loss of coverage?

1678 has also left Coventry. Does anyone know where 1659 & 1678 have gone?
1678 was in quite good condition as this picture taken on Thursday shows.

All 6 are going direct to Yorkshire dealers, sold to PVS, but may be collected by Wigley

Ok, Thanks Tony.

I thought National Express were trialling a posher bus on route 2 but it was actually a Johnsons bus blocking the stop while driver went to the shop.

4696 has joined the noisy club.

4696 only spent a day in the noisy club.
2153 recently had some of its black light surrounds painted sky blue.

Probably because it was a hot day, the Geminis tend to be noisier in hot weather and I'm sure 4696 and other non hoovering Geminis will have many more days in the noisy club :)

4450 must have wanted a day in as it displays "Not In Service" It is the 08:40 ish number 10 from Pool Meadow to Eastern Green.

Image of 4450 in action: https://www.facebook.com/369276339910972/photos/a.472683556236916.1073742094.369276339910972/535258893312715/?type=3&theater

This has now been rectified. (11:46)

From next week, these services will run via Sky Blue Way in both directions. It is ashame it doesn't go via Lower Ford Street outbound to Walsgrave rather than going back on itself.

That outbound bus shelter on Lower Ford St is still there! I assume the Bendi's couldn't make the turn from Cox St into Lower Ford St - but surely the Volvo B7RLE's can (although it is a bit tight if cars are parked there).

They are not "expecting" standard daytickets, concessionery passes or travelcards on the Shuttle Buses to MTV Crashes, Bruce Springstein or Rhianna shuttle buses...
