I feel like most of the time it is an e200 mmc tho, which makes sense obviously but maybe an older e400 would've been nice. I know it's obviously not possible but it would be cool

QuoteI'm predicting Electroliners for 4/4A. Then remaining single deckers get given to 8A/8C to replace Omnilinks (unless that get DD's) or 72 (if 72 can handle single deckers - to get rid of the B7TLS)
The next 130 are for the black country, swear I have seen a comment on Facebook

Those E200MMCs should stay at AG, but for routes like the 73 17 not the 4/4A
Local Bus Routes: 4, 4A, A15, A16, 41,1,11A,11C, A9, A12

AG's main priority is removing the non Euro 6 Geminis at the moment, not moving E200MMC's to garages they aren't required at.

Moving them to Walsall maybe?

They've had Geminis in the past, plus one has been on loan this week.

Not moving any non-euro 6 gemini anywhere, they need to come out of service as quick as possible

There's 3 BJ03 left that aren't Euro 6.
 
The 54 plate Geminis at AG are in a similar state to the 97 branded Tridents, completely past their sell by date and very tired!

Clearly Volvo know how to make an engine if these 21 year old buses are still going

It's highly unlikely that after 21 years they're still on their original engines....

Didn't 4301 do a full 21 years of service using its original engine?

most could well be the only time i,ve seen engine swaps in garage is due to failure, modern buses designed to do 1,000.000 kilometers without need for major mechanical refurbs, modern build methods, better oils,lubes more advanced than in years gone by, Tony or a bus engineer would know
