Because they have already operated them?

No point repainting NXWM Crimson buses in to the NXC version.

May as well paint the 54 plate Gemini's formerly off the 11 instead that haven't been repainted for a while.

Every garage has operated Voith gearboxes

Are 4687-4696 taller than the previous ones just like 4700-4717?

Not that it's relevant now as all Gemini's are banned off the 5, just wondering.

Noo the wb one

No!

MW was referring to the AG one about Geminis being banned, which they are

Stevo

Didn't someone say somewhere that the CV Geminis were higher than the others and couldn't be allocated to AG?

Jack

Seen as AG are getting some of PB Gemini's could this finally mean 4519 and 4521 can go to WB?

See I wasn't 100% on this, but if you recollect it, then it's probably true. However, that was when the 5 was Gemini operated. Now, they're all together banned from the route, which was why AG gained the trapped ALX400s, and later Solihull became Euro 4. So there's no problem with having different height Gemini's at AG now, presumably.

Ridiculous that the 5 can't be Gemini operated though. They clear the bridge at Highfield Road, but the bridge was remeasured. The Plaxtons were the ones that actually got damaged from that bridge if I recall correctly.

No. Only 4700 to 4717 are taller
