I never said unusual vehicle or specified the 37 route, just said something of interest will be at AG.

MW has guessed correct and 4527 will arrive Monday, the first Gemini in Crimson livery

Wasn't really a guess was it?

I guess it'll be on the 37 till there's enough for its route however? Yes that is a guess lol.

@ronnoc1k8 wolvo has tridents, WB/WA/CV/PB has Alx 400s.

It is a guess the outer circles getting the crimson treatment next?

If geminis are being done tridents definitely will from 45** may be even earlier tridents. Would love to have seen a b6 in crimson

BU07 LGO

The funny thing is 4533/4 and possibly others have a sticker in cab saying to keep headlights on in Solihull town centre! Funny that they will be relevant again!

ALX400 is the bodywork. All NXWM's Tridents have ALX400 bodywork, as do B7TLs 4225 to 4304, plus CV 4415-24.

So all of the above garages have ALX400s, just not on the same chassis.

Gemini in crimson. ... cant wait for this !!

BY is the odd 1 out with a fleet of Scanias, its fairly easy to assume their the same vehicles,

I hope it's getting LED displays, or just the front one. It'll look rubbish with DotMatrix displays

I doubt it. Gemini's seem to be better built and more reliable which is probably why these ones are being done. I look forward to driving 4527-34 though :D

Childhood dream of wanting to drive 4511-14, 4517-4534 & 4635-4679 lol. Only about 12 left to drive :)

I remember when i called WN trident an ALX400 and got my head ripped off. So technically i was right.

Dennis Trident 2 with Alexander ALX400 bodywork

Volvo B7TL with Alexander ALX400 bodywork.

Both are ALX400. Just because you got your "head ripped off" doesn't change the facts above.

You could just call them this, Dennis Trident ALX - TA Volvo B7TL - VA, Volvo president - VP
