At last I come back to my most familiar place in UK: Coventry.
Not much have changed in the NX Coventry fleet, beside the leaving of
some of the single deckers.
281 becomes one of the last two Solos with Coventry garage, and 11 is
the only route usually allocated with Solos now, while other former Solo
routes like 1, 2 & 81E are now using Mercs or d/d buses:
The Mercs are still taking their own places as the major bus types for
many routes, but their fleet size in Coventry is shrinking with 6 of them
recently leaving for Wolverhampton:
Meeting the Bendis again...they're still serving 21 & 27 as usual:
Then met my favourite bus -- 4424 again . It's also on 21 that day:
Then it's Stagecoach. There has not been major fleet change in Stagecoach
in Warwickshire until late July when the first ever batch of E400 Scanias
entered service. They've become usual visitors to Coventry on the 16 from
Stratford-upon-Avon (sorry, didn't take photo of the new buses...).
Here's one of the ex-Citybus B6LEs which are still serving Coventry on the 86,
with route branding now (they were not yet branded a year ago):
Other new comers to the city include the two Olympus-bodied Scanias with deCourcey
and the new Citaro & MCV MANs with Central Connect which have recently acquired
the Solihull to Coventry route 82 from NX (sorry, no photos of these again...).

Nice pics
I must admit Coventry is a nice place for bus spotting.
I've visited Coventry quite a few times while I was studying at Loughborough.
But that was 7-8 years ago and things have changed a lot since then.
Metrobuses have gone.
In with the new Scania and Citaros.
. It's also on 21 that day:
