I quite like the idea of a Plaxton in crimson, they look good in new paint I find !
Sadly, they're quite close to their end so it probably a really low chance of one being repainted in to Crimson.

Its an impossibility I reckon although no harm in dreaming !

I hope we have now said goodbye not just to B6s, B10Ls and Spectras but also to red and white repaints.

Apparently 4527 has been repainted into Crimson and 4520 is being converted into a Trainer. Don't know if this is true though.

Superb. The curves of the Eclipse Gemini were always going to suit this livery best and it doesn't disappoint. What a world of difference from the old red and white.

The livery actually suits the Gemini very well! Looking forward to see it with my own eyes. :)

I agree the Crimson livery does really suit the Geminis a lot better than the standard red & white livery on the others. I too cannot wait to see 4529 in the flesh too

It looks good, but like someone else said, it would look better with front LEDs. I wonder if 4529 now has a rear dot matrix fitted

Yeah, I think the dot matrix display makes it look quite dated. Did it not have a rear one before then?

No, it looks like there is one and it doesn't work, but if you look closely there isn't one there
