4986 had sat down out of city with hazards on at the Forum early this evening. A no of passengers got off and waiting at bus stop.
Waiting time at a timing point I would assume.

2154 also has a full rear wholesale meats advert.

Just seen on Facebook that 4776 is now back at Coventry with it's new Init ticket machine fitted.

 After looking through the forum I just cannot discover just why the Coventry Volvo Gemini's 4687-4696 were transferred to Birmingham. Surely it was not because Coventry had five  Enviro 200's from Walsall? I photographed 3 of the ex Coventry Gemini's in Birmingham last week. I must admit they looked a real treat in their new colours and when I began writing a caption to my pics I was stumped for for details as I ask. Very much liked the Streetdecks I photographed in Colmore Row, not seen them before,  a good day picture outing.

I suppose it makes more sense to concentrate the Wright Eclipse Gemini's at the same garages (in this case, Perry Barr & Acocks Green and at Xplore Dundee). Granted there are Volvo B5L Hybrid Gemini's at B'ham Central.
