Hope not, it was given to PE to replace 4816.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Don't they apply the branding at Pensnett?

Increased vehicle requirement at Coventry for routes 8 and 9 in new schedules to account for additional running time when Friargate redevelopment starts.

I always felt like 2154 belonged at CV anyway, it never felt right at PE. There is a gap and batches should be kept together, as that batch was ordered for CV. Maybe they will swap 2154 for 2153?

If it was 'ordered for Coventry' How come Wrights painted it red then?

I didn't say that it was ordered for Coventry. I'm saying the batch was intended for Coventry, and it was stupid, they could of easily painted 2153 red and transferred it to PE when the rest of the B7's arrived at Coventry, seeing as it was all white at the time, and 2154 could have been painted blue in the first place, rather than waiting 8 months!

So saying 'That batch was ordered for Coventry' is not saying 'it was ordered for Coventry'?

Why would they paint 2153 Red at the time when Wrights had already painted 2154** red as per the order specification?


** In actual fact Wrights painted the vehicle which should have been 2171 red, but that's another story!

Big question, is 2154 going to CV?
