Does anyone know what types of vehicles are usually used on the X6 route Leicester-Coventry?
Many thanks.

I wouldn't bank on Bus Times being accurate, but yes on a Monday to Saturday it is usually the Temsa coaches. Currently on Sundays the E200s are usually used although this may change shortly.

E200mmcs are used on Sundays as the X6 interworks with some service 8 (Hinckley to Burbage/Amazon) journeys.

Yes, the Temsa’s were bought for one of the Greenline services. They took ages to enter service as they awaited a wheelchair lift. However the Greenline service from Hemel Hempstead to London (757?) was withdrawn a few months ago making these coaches surplus. Three of them are now branded for the X6

They were dealer stock and were used on the 748/758/768 services to replace the unreliable tri axle DAFs.
In the latter days the service was run by the Mercedes coaches due to reductions on 757 through Covid, so these Temsa vehicles were actually surplus a while ago. One of them is at Telford garage for schools.
