Any news about the apparent introduction of gold buses between Coventry and Warwick on the X17 in the near future?

That is for Northampton. The new buses for Leamington are E200s

Ah I see, the E400, is that for the X4 then?

A possible indicator is Vosa suggesting a revised X17 timetable from 4th November.

I saw a couple of Enviro 200s in Leamington depot yard last week, as I passed there on a train.  They were in normal Stagecoach livery.   Will these be for the X17?

Great news!
Were they all liveried up?
I'm hoping for an official announcement some time soon!

The new Warwickshire map shows the X17 revised from 4 November, and running from Jaguar Landrover,  with  a new half hourly X19 from Warwick.

This is great, and quite curious.
Yet are you able to provide relevant links?
The map on http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/busroutemaps seems to reflect the situation as it was a few months ago.

No links - the maps were on the counter at Nuneaton bus station on Friday.

Spotted a few of these in service today on service X17, standard livery 63 plate E200s, so at the moment not particularly noticable.  :P

Will these E200s displace the transbus Darts to replace older Darts?
