Looks like 2120 has had a full repaint. Saw it in Dale End this evening

Certainly doesn't look as good as the others, with the horrible white fleet name on the side leaving a huge white area which looks unfinished and a huge fleet name on the front! Why can't NXWM ever keep buses looking the same!

I thought it looked better actually - it has the new bright red paint which doesn't fade to a pinkish red, as the others have done and the livery fits in with the recent Scania refurbs which have the same design. Glad NX have done it - It's virtually the same as it's previous livery anyway, apart from the name being put on the top in the middle.

Good to see that they kept the black destination surround, unlike on the front end repaint of 2142.

2120 is now the best looking Eclipse 2 I think

I saw a Gemini that was on the 11C today, newly repainted and had also been named as it had the red oval on the offside. No idea which as I was too far away to see it properly

4679 has been named Steve Widdows and is currently out on the 73 if anybody wants to catch it. :)

2120 was back out on the 71 or 72 yesterday first time I've seen it back since its repaint it definitely looks smart.

Been out all this week on AG routes - saw it on Monday and it looks brand new again now!

4648 is making a strange whistling noise and it sounds like a girl in a horror movie screaming
it's quite scary

There was a gemini that had it's front bumper gone whilst it was towed, it was towed from the engine side. What was it?

Hopefully 4518 will follow suit ;D ::). AG can have it back. Will 4518-4531 be transferring out of WB?
