Not sure if you noticed, but 1703 has 'END' on the rear display. I did get a photo, but I must have been standing in the worst possible position lol as I managed to get a tree branch and part of the fencing in the way.

1703 was a nice bus, NXC have been left with a pretty rough bunch of Mercs considering the ones that were withdrawn earlier this year (1610 springs to mind). Though I realise there are a number of reasons why withdrawals happen when they do.

1579 seems to have finished as I've been advised it's parked up and the coin volt has been removed. Seems like 1571 pottering around on the 1 (odd hour Chapelfields) is only one out after 1594 was briefly out on 5's earlier.

While on the 16A (4987) earlier, I seen 1591 through the garage door by the MOT Testing area with a red sticker. Must be the end! :(

The Mercs finished on November 6th, it was thier last day in Coventry. The drivers tell us that the last four are going to Pensett depot because of shortage of buses, they could be there until sometime in December.

I understand that 1571 is at West Brom depot.

Nope it isn't at West Brom Depot @t.w.moore
It was on Monday
But has been on 205 today

I must come back to 1571 being at West Brom. a colleague travelled to West Brom to photograph the bus earlier this week and was told it was not in service that day. But it was there and working from the bus station on previous days he was informed. Anyone with more information pre my hopeful visit sometime next week to take photograps.
