Travel de Courcey -- General Thread

[paulb1973]

Was hoping the 703 would be neatly renumbered to 73, more so if the 703A variant is going to be withdrawn as that would result in most of the stop flags requiring update.

I'd go along with that, there is no logic in having routes in the 7xx series as far as I can see. Better to occupy the 1-100 range, it would fit in with most of the current within-Coventry services.

Is there any update on these as of yet?

I haven't seen any of them anyway!

All 3 Electric Versa's have been on the 85 today. Not happened for a while if not before!
1001 & 1002 in the morning and 1003 out right now.

Currently in the yard at Miller Street is Volvo B7TL/ALX400 W138 EON, before the usual questions that crop up when vehicles are parked there, it is not a DeCourcey vehicle, but is owned by new delaer RGI Bus & Coach refurbishments for single door conversion

Just seen one of the ex Dublin B7/ALX deckers in use for the first time on the JLR shuttle. I was driving at the time and didn't catch the full registration, but it was B?51 ???

I'm surprised national express haven't gone for this contract @Tony

A) it's not a trident

B) I've already posted it doesn't belong to DeCourcey

Print outs of timetables for routes that will replace the 360 are available from Centro Exhibition bus parked by Primark. The map has the replacement routes in different colours for ease of identification.

Have De Courcey got a contract for something at the Airport? as my Dad has seen former Dublin B7TL/ALX400 X827VRL there yesterday and Scania/Optare 802 there today (9 mins ago)

Have these 3 Volvo's been on normal services, or just used for the JLR Contract and these Uni shuttles?

It is the first time I have seen them @John  so I couldn't comment.
