@Dylanbusboy45
2006 was at De Courcey's yard at Miller Street day before today

possibly heading back to NEC depot

[Dylanbusboy45]

Yes it probably was heading for the NEC depot

[2206]

Citaro 2005 was going down Elkington Street in Newtown today most likely heading to Miller Street garage

There were 2 Tridents on the 85 today; one was 814. Are the electrics no longer used?

New Bus fares from 15th November!

@Eric Shaw 1002 is often out on the 85 but not sure where 1001 & 1003 have gone

[Eric Shaw]

Thanks Adam. It seems an inappropriate time to stop using them with National Express seeking funding for more of them

Looks like De Courcey have more Levantes for JLR contract
One of them is FJ60EFY

That one was ex Yourbus (4008). I wonder if the older examples on hire from NX are being replaced

[James4368]

@Winston
De Courceys NEC coach fleet was 101-113
So they probably have more Levantes from Yourbus from 114-122


FJ60EFY is 122 in the fleet

@James4368

It was originally just the twelve i.e. 101 - 112, looks that way by the fleetnumber for ex YB 4008.

Any idea if there's an increase in work? Or more likely just being acquired to update the fleet
