What's the vehicle allocation for the 18/A?

It had all sorts last time I was down there

[JoNi]

18/A - 2 doubles, 3 singles, 1 single in peak

[Sh4318]

Thanks @JoNi, @Matt I got 4454 on the 18A. Coventry allocations seem to be random where double deck routes are concerned

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

It was 4424

Do you know what caused the breakdown?

[lauren1993]

On Wednesday 4839 failed again in kenilworth

R.I.P 1655

Towards Coventry, the 11 and 12 will run through the campus loop in the opposite direction (anti-clockwise) from Monday 30th, with changes to stopping places.
There will be some small changes again when the mini bus station is finished this autumn.

How come they specifically picked 1655 for what I think is a too early withdrawal?

No merc withdrawal is too early at the moment

Have you ever travelled on 1655? If you have then you don't need to ask that question! It was by far the worst Merc in Coventry! It was awfully rattly, loud and slipped gears and could barely get above 30mph!

It was also an unrefurbished example. A lot of the poorer mark 2s have been withdrawn recently.

There will be some more later Mercs withdrawn soon in the shape of WN examples

Lauren believe it or not I'm a regular visitor to Coventry. I have travelled on 1655 on 14 occassions at WN, WB and CV and I am still adament there are much worse they could have plucked out first

So NX should spend a fortune when a bus has a major componant failure, just to keep it in service for a couple of months?

I have noticed this week that 4689 no longer has the cooling fan stuck on full blast! The cooling fan was full blast constantly from December last year until some time this week, but I first heard today and it is back to quiet! Does this mean nxc are sorting out the loud cooling fan issue on all their b7tls?
Although 4695 still has it stuck on at the minute!
