10732 is now allocated to Nuneaton. Not certain if should be on 48A.

Thank you, is this a loan or permanent?

Permanent, as they need deckers for new contracts for Coventry.

Out of interest, E400 MMCs 11664/65/66/67/68 which came down from Midlands to South for the Farnborough Airshow have since moved on to South East and to Eastbourne - are these permanent transfers to South East?

Yes, these are permanent as far as I am aware

Not easy to assess as Stagecoach Midlands don't communicate much, but I believe it to be between 25 and 30, unless someone knows better. They have recently won some Coventry tenders. Cheers.

I think it is much more than that - an approximation is 148 takes 17 buses, the 56/57 about 11, the 48A 2, 18/19 2, 41 group 3, 74/78/735 is 5, Nuneaton town services 13 and I think possibly 15 or so on the TfWM contracts (that might be too much!). Could work it out exactly, but not enough time at present!

Looking at two different sources, the allocation is c.73/75 so reckon you're looking at a PVR of approx. 65

64 of 72 buses currently tracking on bustimes. In peak times there is a higher PVR, not exactly sure what it is.

One was bus times, the other UK buses.

I wouldn't think the PVR would be much higher; most operators work on 12-15% spares

37066 now tracking normally, meaning 10732 still hasn’t ventured out yet

Stagecoach Midlands have deregistered the Bedford half of the 50 so from 30 August it will run between Kettering and Rushden. In turn Stagecoach East have registered a replacement route (also numbered 50) between Bedford and Rushden Lakes to commence that same day.

27916 was only recently painted in to We Got You livery?

27916 was only recently painted in to We Got You livery?

I think it is meant to say 27917, which is still in Beachball livery and still with Stagecoach Midlands

And 10732 is tracking again, this time on the 148. I wonder if it is actually 10732, or another mistrack.
