Just a thought but will 4475 be considered to be repainted into its original livery as the first Gemini to the fleet such that 4125 has been? Got to say would be quite the sight to see a repainted 4475 on the 33 with 4125 on the 51 in following.

No it won't be. Won't be doing two buses in the same heritage livery.

It would be nice if they did that, 4125 with Walsall Road branding and 4475 in Line 33 branding.

How about a Gemini in the 'toothpaste' TWM livery then, to make it different?

Would think a YW 47XX E400/ex BY Omnilink would make more sense, as they used to carry that livery in the past. Wheras the current Gemini in the fleet didn't

The 47** Gemini were toothpaste. I think one of the YW 47** E400's would look perfect in it.

Yes, but those Gemini are no longer in the fleet now so wouldn't be possible anymore.

I know that, I was just saying there was at one point. It wouldn't sit right on any other Gemini's in my opinion.
It would be nice for there to be an original toothpaste E400 Mk1 and a shame about 4475 as in an ideal world would be nice to have a trident and Gemini in their original livery.

There is a Trident in original livery - 4125

Or a 17xx Eclipse/Omni in Toothpaste (pity the former 37 branded ones are mainly trainers.)
1750 would be a great one to put in toothpaste being the first B7RLE

Or 1788 as the first Omnilink and ex 97.
Though saying that if it happened, they might pick one of the other ex BY single deckers that would be due a repaint anyway and still in red and white i'd think.
Pensnett asked for another heritage livery last month to commemorate two old time drivers that passed away, and Management have said now is not the time for any more, so whatever people would like will not be happening

Understood - for Pensnett, given their operating territory, a bus in mid or late 1960s Midland Red livery would be absolutely perfect, driving up and down the hills of Dudley. Single or double decker (or both).
