Service Changes from 27th April

[JPC]

They've added the 13th April timetable to their website but I see quite a mistake/botch in some Clockwise timing points.  ::)

Thanks for this.
I also notice that the early evening Saturday 360c that terminates short is shown as operating up to Sutton Ave/Farcroft Ave.
I wonder if that's a mistake and it will just go as far as Tile Hill North?
If it is correct, I hope the displays are done well so that the average joe still knows roughly where the bus is going.

Mistake yes, it will terminate at Tile Hill North.  Westwood Academy timing point is missing and Sandpits Lane incorrectly added therefore all timing points in between (from Bell Inn through to Norman Place Road) are incorrect by one row.

Anyhow, I've managed to correct the mistakes I've found  :D....

Surely deCourcey aren't putting the electric Versa's on the X6? Or is it new work in Leicester? 

Interesting to note that they are also looking for a new base in Brum

Thanks for that,

Has anyone in Coventry heard why DeCourcey are sourcing a new Birmingham depot? Or is that report also confused with their existing B'ham coach depot / or just incorrect?

Incorrect Winston but there is scope to expand where they are with the unit next to them.

Thanks BN, I did wonder after DeCourcey had invested so much in the Miller St coach depot.

Doesn't DeCourcey already have the bulk of the parking area even if they were to acquire the unit nextdoor?

Does anyone know what the former Park and Ride South electric vehicles are up to these days?
Not much, I imagine?
Would much appreciate any information.
