Interesting. I like it a lot. Will anything be going the other way?
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

ALX400s the other way maybe? Although they'd have to be painted? If it weren't for the emissions thing in Town next year, I would have suggested maybe E400s (Sutton ones due to Platinums coming at some point?) to CV to standardise the fleet a bit.

Yeah I've just seen. Going to be weird seeing these at Perry Barr. Hopefully they'll get onto the Sutton's from time to time.

My thoughts exactly.
Don't you start.

Coventry drivers probably be celebrating losing there oddball voith Volvo Geminis ,from what I've read they real slow compared to there zf Volvo Alexander's
39 transfers due to take place soon interesting , I wonder if tridents will come to west brom then with exception of scanias you have an ADL fleet

JoNi

I think most of those who formally complained that they couldn't reach the ticket machine without bending forward and stated they couldn't see the money placed in the vault have retired or left.

These will make a refreshing change from all the ZF Gemini's be nice to see them occasionally on the 94 with their 4 speed voith gearboxes. I take it these will be the 1st Gemini's at PB to gain Crimson?

Wonder if Coventry will get its first alx400 in the new livery as a replacements for the 2 gemmis going pb

I wonder if Coventry will get some scanias in new livery from Walsall to replace the Geminis?

About time something happened to CVs Geminis. They're awful. A mixture of loud fans, engines that don't idle smoothly, and very rattly. And in the case of 4695, all three.

Caught a crimson Gemini on the 966 a few weeks ago, could believe how smooth and rattle-free it was. I hope these two are done to the same standard.
