Coventry noteworthy workings - any point anymore?

I knew this time would come eventually, so the question to be asked now is whether anything can be considered 'noteworthy' at Coventry?

There's now one standard type of double-deck, the ADL E400EV.

Of the remaining single-decks, there are still two types, the ADL E200s, and the Eclipse 2 B7RLEs.

It's already been stated that bar the 20B, which needs single-decks as it passes under a low bridge, all of Coventry's routes are perfectly capable of using double-decks.

With 30 single-decks left, these are going to still see daily use, apart from the 20B, I don't know if there are any other routes that are specifically allocated singles, perhaps due to not actually requiring the seating capacity of a double.

Is it fair to assume that for double-deck routes, any single deck can be considered 'also commonly used', especially if they're the only 'spares' available?

Likewise, would an E400EV also be 'also commonly used' for those routes using single-decks? With the obvious exception of the 20B.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to QE Hospital | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Not sure if this is a noteworthy working but where was 2163 going on the 25 to Rugby this morning.
Appears to be a mystery tour unless anyone knows more?

Which is why we always say don't 'bus spot' of bus times. GPS is out, bus is on correct route
