4478 and 6810 aren't tracking at all at the minute and 6809 continually tracks as a 65.

2231 tracking at Wolverhampton Garage - @Tony is this in for MOT/remedial work or on a parts run? Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Full marks to NX for keeping heritage liveries 4453 seems to have been around for ages but its days must be numbered with electrification of Coventrys buses on the horizon.

Isn't there a case for one of the new electric buses to be treated in the livery as seen on 4453 when they arrive?

Unfortunately not. Part of the electric city contract excludes it

Surely it would stay in Coventry & perhaps be used by the Transport Museum on an ad hoc basis maybe?

It got better as the afternoon went on - it "docked" just east of Hastings and ran the long route back to Stourbridge via St Leonards and Hastings!!!

Does that mean the NX/Stagecoach/Arriva/other etc. buses in Coventry will have the same livery?

Anyone spotted that 4734 seems to be parked in the new estate just south of the Walsall depot?

(Not the first time, a vehicle has been spotted there!)

I love Walsall buses

Seems to be a tracking error

Tbf it can sometimes be a case of the BODS systen either not receiving/distributing the data correctly that leads to buses ending up in the channel or even on Null Island
