Thanks for this -- quite interesting.
Particularly with the 10/23 arrangement: they will pretty much be running the 23C, but running dead for the outermost section.
And it's good to see steps being taken to get the 8(A) running to time -- at least, whenever I've been on them, they have got seriously behind.

I've had a look around for these timetables though, and haven't been able to find them: do you have a link to them?

[JoNi]

The website still shows the old timetables.
When I did a search for route 4 it also returned the 25 because it serves the i4!
We have a saying locally "National Express are so bad you couldn't make it up". I'd use the expression pitiful.

[JoNi]

Yes looked since I typed this.
4, 10 and 23 yet to appear.
11/12 has, but Pool Meadow say there is going to be no new leaflet.

"16 Coventry Garage Via City Centre"


Oh and 4418 It was an (11 or 12)? Lost a wing mirror earlier after unloading in Little Park Street (Going towards Pool Meadow). I think the driver managed to repair it though.

It was a Volvo B7TL when it was delivered, I would be very surprised if it has had a chassis swop!

[JoNi]

Point taken Tony,
Isn't the first time,
It was brought to my attention that I called 4453 a Volvo B7 in the article I wrote about Coventry buses that was published in April 2012 Buses magazine!
Never much liked ALX400s!

NX has made an £100m deal with ADL for Enviro 400 and Enviro 200 vehicles over the coming five years.
These are for Coventry, the West Midlands and Dundee.

I am not sure, but this may well already have been reported elsewhere on the forum (I don't keep up with the Birmingham threads).
