They wheels have barely stopped turning after entering AG. Give it chance for the engine to cool down first.

Waiting for the spotters whom have enjoyed travelling the region on "essential" travel to camp outside for 7515-17 to venture out....

Can't think the last time I left the Dudley area? February at least?

NX have said that they have some buses sitting on the sidelines that will be put out to help with capacity. I don't know if that applies to withdrawn buses

Are 2244/5/6 still Dundee bound after all this virus madness calms down?

It means nothing of the sort.
It means there are buses with drivers parked in strategic point to come into service if overloading occurs

Don't think PB have used the Gemini anywhere yet, I've not seen one on the 94 since Sunday 29th March.
Wander when these will eventually come back?

That's about 30 Gemini there that are out of use, so no need to reinstate any withdrawn buses, i'd think.
