2145 has reverted offside panel without Bill Dunning nameplate on it again!

"2169" is definitely the Bus that is named "BILL DUNNING", as on the day of his funeral, it took him on his final journey and carried his coffin to the cemetery in Kenilworth ! (Was a fantastic and most fitting send off for him !).

The rear display on 4771 is now working again. Must have been broken for at least a year and two months!

I was told that 4411 was seen being towed off away from the Keresley Road at around 2pm this afternoon, after it had broken down opposite "The Old Shepherd" Pub !

On my way back from the Railway Station earlier tonight, i stopped off at Wheatley Street Garage to have a quick look at the Bendi-buses, which are still parked out at the front of the Garage and much to my surprise, there were loads of Rats galore come running out from underneath them !  More worrying was that they all seemed to head in my direction, but fortunately they then all darted off into all the weeds and undergrowth !!!lol.  The discarded food containers / packets thrown (or blown ?) over the fence all alongside where the Buses are standing doesn't help and it will always attract rodents like that, if it isn't all cleared away ASAP ?  That Garage yard really could do with a good old clean and tidy up in places ??? (And the metal fence railings need painting to !!!lol).

4453 seems to have established itself as the Canley bus and has done nothing but solid 18/18A for months every single day without fail! It is hard not to notice this bus as it is!
This may possibly be due to the side display being stuck displaying 18A but if so, I like it! Good thinking from the garage team!

Has NX ever attempted to compete with Stagecoach on the section between Leamington Spa and Warwick Uni?

If so, what were the consequences?

The 11 runs between Leamington Spa and Warwick Uni, so yes, I guess they have attempted to compete with them, and still do.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

They run a different route, I believe the NX one goes via Kenilworth whilst stagecoach is direct and is about 10-15 minutes quicker. Is it really a competition though?
