With the withdrawal of the 85, suppose the 585 group of services could be renumbered 85 etc - is there any logic keeping them in the 5xx series.

You mean the tendered 585 service...

What will happen to the battery buses?

What will happen to the battery buses?

Private University services. I have seen one on the W6 before

They were new for the P&R south service and I think TDC were a bit miffed when the contract was lost. I assume they will still use the same recharging point at the Memorial park on the Uni service?

585 is about the last vestige of Midland Red numbers in Coventry others have changed 735 (was 737), 539 and 580 have replaced a number of previous routes.

Looking at MDC new timetable the additional 585's from Cov station in the pm are a bit of a con! They do not go through to Rugby and still turn round at Cov Hospital. So really they are still running 85's. It is going to cause confusion with the punters. Bet the poor drivers will get some stick.

[Sandy Lane]

I think the 585 has more deckers on the route since the timtable change?
