Video this week comparing Arriva's X6 service between Leicester and Coventry and on the way back the 148 by Stagecoach from Coventry to Leicester. These two routes both serve the same destinations, cost the same but are wildy different in operation (coach vs bus) and proposition (express versus trundle through the villages.)
One is a brand new Yutong electric bus and the other a Temsa Safari, but which wins out?
Hope you enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts!

A few of your videos are in my watch later list. I have taken the 148 service but not the X6.
Well, I hope you enjoy them!
The X6 is definitely worthy of a trip if you get the chance. It's one of probably a handful of coach services left in England now that the X1, X5 etc have gone.
I have done the X5 between Oxford and Bedford just before the coaches were taken off. I took the Arriva X1 from Milton Keynes to Luton and that was a Temsa coach.
I think sadly the X1 is now just normal buses (though they are eVoRas wich are a personal favourite) as they use the busway.
The X5 really misses the coaches in my opinion.
