A driver in Tamworth today said they were expecting to receive them tomorrow - given lack of space I wonder if they will give them to the pm drivers and take the old ones away as the am drivers finish?

They were in the depot by yesterday lunchtime - you could see them from the car park adjoining the back of the depot. I have seen and photographed 4407 on the 08.40 ex Tamworth and 4409 on the 07.57 ex Birmingham so far today. They will unfortunately be filthy in this weather before it's nice enough to get a good photo. 
Only Guy Arabs (a choice of 63) stopped at my front door 1957-1964!

The same driver said there were two in the depot  - I could see one, and what might have been a second, from the car park at mid-day, but that was all.

They were swapped over last night with the Gems.

All the Gemini's are currently at cannock I think. Seen about 5/6 in the yard. There were two out and about yesterday for type training one of which was 4202

Trident 4609

Currently on 4409 going to Sutton. I am actually impressed. A very fast ride along the Aston Expressway

I don't normally like Arriva but this Sapphire bus has made me like Arriva a little. I'm very impressed with the bus, interior is bright and blue - just what I like, the livery is nice.

Sampled 4408 from Sutton to Birmingham, duly impressed with a well driven smooth rattle free journey. Tall enthusiast sitting opposite me above the driver said it was nice to have plenty of legroom and a comfy seat above the driver. He felt they did not have as much headroom upstairs, are they different to NX's height wise?
