@Michael Bevan E200 MMC's aren't really noteworthy on the X12, a number have been on it. It's fairly common.

There has been quite a few on there this week, so its not really unusual. Probably because, I think it was said AG have 10 E400 MMC for a PVR of 10 so when a E400 MMC isn't available or an E400 MMC is elsewhere something else will be on the X12.

I wouldn't say they are quite rare on the X12. But I'd still say they are noteworthy as they are uncommon. It's like ALX400's on PB33. Not really uncommon, but still noteworthy.

Gemini's are more usual than an ALX400 on a 33. There's two Trident Enviros (4799/4829) and 4286 all on the 33 today. There's obviously 3 Branded E400's off the road.

On terms of the X12, there's 10 Platniums for 10 running boards. So when a Platniums is off the road, then an E200 MMC will be on it. There's been one on it pretty much every day, this week.

There's been a few Geminis on the X12 too. Seen a 46xx the other day.

What's weird is seeing so much Gemini presence on the East of the City now. By that, I mean along the 72 route. Seeing convoys of 72s.

Gemini's are the second type for the X12. Not Enviro 200 MMC's.

Well I like the ALX400's on the 72. There's just something that I don't like about the Gems on the 72.

I never said anything about the second type. There's obviously not been any spare Gemini's in the garage so E200 MMC's have had to of been used. All I said that an E200 MMC has had been used, it's obvious that I mentioned nothing about the second type being Gemini's.

To be honest. I thought it would be more evenly split between ALX400s and Geminis. E200 MMC still appear to be a regular fixture

Yeah so did I. Tony did say that the Crimson Geminis will be used on the 72. The ALX400s are supposed to be for the 1, 11 & 73 (even though I've seen a few E200s on the 73).

I've only seen one ALX400 on the 73, which was 4228 yesterday. Other than that I've seen E200's on the 73. I did think I was seeing things when I saw it though.

It's definitely mainly ALX400 on the weekdays. I've heard of E200 MMCs being on there on Saturdays
