Stagecoach in Coventry & Warwickshire

[Dennis]

@Ally do you know if the system is going to be the same as/similar to the one that Stagecoach East Kent use? Reason I ask is an app I use has been, since Christmas, giving Real Time for some stagecoach kent buses and I was just wondering if the same will apply for Warwickshire (saves using a second app - why Arriva won't give the same data feeds I'll never know!)

If it runs off the ETM is it due to them both having different systems?

As Arriva already have an app covering the whole UK (or at least the bits they run in) you could look at it the other way round and ask why Stagecoach won't supply the same feeds! It must be possible as there is multi operator RTI in loads of places.

How many buses are needed on the X15/X18? Also do the Unibus E400s appear on normal routes when not required for Unibus work eg now in the Summer Holidays?

They do appear in Coventry city centre during University vacations.
This one appeared on X17 on Friday morning.

There was a Dart on the Stagecoach 68 today is this usual? I think it was 35182.

With the reliability of the Versa's its rare to have a full Versa service on the 68

Presumably 16614 was on the 1820 journey from Coventry - the only Stagecoach 18A to run north of Leamington?

16614 reached Coventry again today, on the X16.
