Coventry Garage

[Coventry Transport Dude]

4403 broke down in Town (at the back of Primark !) earlier tonight, at around about 5.45pm - 6.00pm time ?  When i later went back into Town this evening, it had been towed towards Wheatley Street Garage, but not actually into it and was just left in the lane outside the Garage entrance (directly underneath the Ring Road flyover !), with its front bumper panel missing and its hazard lights on !!!!!

I was talking to someone on Platinum 6963 earlier and they told me that two of these new Platinum Buses have received slight damage / scratches on them already ???  Sadly i've no idea which ones they are, but one was said to have been hit in its rear end by a Stagecoach Bus over in Leamington Spa !  Another one was scratched when someone decided to open a Car Door, just as the Bus was passing by it !!!!

Not sure if anyone native to Coventry has seen this but Enviro 4881 has been treated to an allover ad for Resorts World. I saw it on either the 13/21 yesterday.

4881's been like that since late October, I think.

It's a bit of a shame that the ad doesn't mention being able to get the X1 there!

I only stumbled across this one purely by chance. As I said I wasn't sure if anyone else in Coventry or the West Midlands knew so merely reported my findings.

6959 is the first Coventry MMC to receive branding for the Uni routes

6952 appears to be the first with next stop announcements; currently on the 12X..

spoiler alert: it's not the usual guy who does them, as well.

A Whitmore Park bound 4410 was standing on Beake Avenue about 45 minutes ago (just past its stop by Rylston Avenue !), with its hazard lights on !  A Mechanic then pulled up in the NX Cov Maintenance Van, to hopefully try and sort its problem out ?
