The Fox 4846

Oh and I also think 4680 - 4686, the high seated gemini's should go to AG for the 966 as it goes to the airport and deserves some good buses and would withdraw some presidents

Well most have been there when they have been on delivery, or going for a repaint.

My bad, I just stated because I remember see photos of PE's MMCs there plus being the paint shop, I thought they've all visited it with the change of liveries.

Although they've all been withdrawn now, there was a small handful of Mercs that may not have visited WA due to never having a repaint since new.

Do the DP seated Geminis have a lower seating capacity than the ordinary ones. I find the DP ones have loads of legroom and find them really comfy buses to travel on but on the last X51 out of cannock this morning theres a bus seated example on and I couldn't find a seat with enough legroom apart from the back seat downstairs!

I know there's less buggy zone space on DP genini and leather seated enviro

Looking at Tonys fleetlist the DP Geminis are CH42/29F compared to H43/29F on standard Geminis.
Where is the missing seat upstairs? Is it four on the backseat compared to five?

Yeah, only four along the back. The rest of the seats upstairs are spaced slightly further apart as well so the aisle is slightly narrower.

Are the ALX B7TLs a permanent transfer to Walsall or just passing through?  The one that was on the (running very late) 5.05pm X51 to Cannock tonight was a bit of a mess, an un refurbished example with almost every window etched upstairs lol

I also had my first ride on a WA ALX400 B7TL today, but found that mine (4298) was in a great condition inside!
