I've never actually seen a gemini on the 120, I remember them mainly being used on 9/141 as well as 82/87 last year, last year the 120 was treated to 2 presidents.

Yeah, I've used for the 120 now for about 10 years, I've seen almost every type of bus on that service, apart from omnilinks, geminis and tridents. I remember when routes like 128, 129, and even the 258 had doubles


Since the 120 moved to Pensnett, West Bromwich only operate the 120 on Boxing Day. The one day of the year it gets treated to a Gemini!  ;D

i didn't catch it myself, but I was at my parents house on Boxing Day in 2010, and there was a 'Dudley Road' branded Gemini, as well as a 'plain' toothpaste liveried Plaxton President whizzing past the house on the 120 that day!
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley

My local depot - Yardley Wood
My favourite depot - Hockley

I probably ought to correct this - my nearest NXWM garage is Yardley Wood or Coventry, my local one is Arriva Kent and Sussex, Sheerness  ;)

Also an ex Brummie!

BTW I reckon those AD2s will have struggled up Mucklow Hill on the 130 (now 9).

I do like Perry Barr quite a lot, I got on 4729 on the 907 and they had a sheet of paper on each seat with the new 907 timetable changes, thought that was a nice touch. I just think the '07 enviros need to be repainted now.
