Surely the 60 gets as many plaxtons as the other Coventry road routes get

Service 59/900/957 are rarely Plaxton Operated
Service 60 Trident & Plaxton Operated  ;D as I saw today

[4504]

Very rarely

Does the 900 ever have an Plaxtons ?
I know the 957 has Plaxtons & Tridents

[Ash]

the 900 is usually operated by the 46xx tridents and its rare to see anything else on it

Ive spotted the odd Plaxton on the 900E & A new Enviro400 Hybrid bus on the 900E aswell a couple weeks back now

The full 900 is mostly the 46** Trident's with maybe 1 or 2 older Trident's on there a day.

The 900E has more older Dennis Trident's on it, as I am pretty sure that the 900E does not interwork with the 900 (At least some journeys of the 900 interworks with the 957).

& A new Enviro400 Hybrid bus on the 900E aswell a couple weeks back now

I would have loved to see that.

The 900/900E interwork evenings & i think daytimes, They dont interwork with the 957


& Ye saw it when i was on the 934 towards Perry Barr

I'm sure the 46** no longer operate the 900, or they didn't briefly because the gearboxes were damaged from a speed bump at the Airport. It was known to crack the gearboxes only in the 46** Tridents.

[Ash]

I was in Coventry today and i only managed to see one 900 bus and it was a 43xx trident, typical after my comment lol

[Nathan4775]

Are BC'S 43xx Tridents still used

[Ash]

There not withdrawn so can be ultimately found on any BC route thats why i saw one on the 900 today.

[Nathan4775]

Oh ok, so were are they placed now then

[4504]

All types of tridents operate the 900, including 46**

So its just Tridents that operate the 900/900E with the rare working Ominilink/plaxton/hybrids

[4504]

I doubt you'll see an omnilink on the 900  ::)

There was an omnilink recently on the 900 i think it only done the one journey for a broken down trident and then the omnilink got replaced by another trident
