Stagecoach in Coventry & Warwickshire

[Tony]

A timetable leaflet not only to tells intending passengers the new time but sells the service and markets the change.
There is no at bus stop advice of forthcoming changes either which is clearly a failing on the part of Centro policy.
Contrast with recent changes to Trent's Nines between Derby and Mansfield where every bus had new leaflets in advance and all stops had a laminated poster, photo taken 10th May for change on 26th.

They can do why can't it happen in the West Midlands.

I agree, but putting the information on the buses, is surely down to Stagecoach themselves

While waiting to be served in NX travel centre the assistant was valiantly attempting to explain to person in front of me which bus to catch to Smorell Lane and admitted it was difficult as Stagecoach timetables on 55/56/57 routes don't have maps.
The X18 leaflet I obtained has town plans, summary tables but nothing to say what has changed, which includes introduction of hourly daytime Sunday service from Coventry to Evesham!
Centro can't be faulted for having an easy to read starting date, which is more than be said for Stagecoach or Trent for that matter.

Centro have however failed to explain the extensions to Stratford and Evesham on the 18 route description and onto Evesham on the X18. Clearly, this is due to the registration of the X18 / 18 being separated to comply with EU Standards.

18402 died on Trinity Street yesterday evening after doing a wee all over the road. It was there for quite a while too until the Support van turned up with the sand and the spare parts.

I have created this from looking at the leaflet. Hope this is more helpful.

For some reason, 39690 has lost its side destination blind

I think I've found out the reason behind this tonight - Mick Merriman and Ian Campbell (Engineering/Operations Managers respectively) had one of the drivers in the office recently to look at CCTV of a certain person (You should know who I mean Ben) sneaking around Nuneaton Garage on either a Sunday or Bank Holiday before stealing an LED blind off one of the buses. I've not seen myself which one it is, but the dates would coincide with 39690's side blind mysteriously vanishing, leaving just the loose wires dangling about.

I only know that the blind has been gone recently, was there a few months back
