Are the B7TL ALX400 and Crimson Gemini at AG & WB compliant for the 4/4A & 80A?

No Volvos at AG are. WB have 11 compliant Gemini

Trident 4194

Will any ALX 400 B7TL be allowed in the city. I've seen quite a few omnilinks on 13A and they do seem to struggle with loadings

I've just answered that question right above you asking!

All PB Gemini's are compliant aren't they? Or (at a guess) the Crimson MMC's may be replacing some?

New Charges apply tommorow. A big problem to garages like AG who dont have enough euro 6 buses.

Compliance can be checked on the government website using the vehicle registration number https://www.gov.uk/clean-air-zones

AG can always use 11 branded E400MMCs  on city routes.  Maybe some shortages will be catered for by transfers when the hydrogen buses arrive at Walsall

That link seems to be saying the last few of the PB batch 4498 - 4504 aren't compliant and have a £50 charge.

And possibly more new buses/cascades if there are still potentially 200 coming this year?

Because it is not worth making the entire fleet 'Euro 6' as there is a possibility of around 200 new buses in 2021

All of AG's geminis arent compliant either and thats a problem for the 4 then. Also ALX400 too

AG does have enough compliant vehicles. They just wear Outer Circle branding!

I expect to see Geminis & ALX400s return properly to the Outer Circle from tomorrow then.

Oh yeah. Expect a lot of outer circle brandeds and 67** on the 4 a lot then. Also omnilinks are on the 4 quite a lot too.Also thats good for the 5 too because the 5 can have E400MMC and platinums on the 4 sometimes.

I don't think they had enough MMC for the 11 as it is anyway as the ALX400 and Gemini are always on there anyway, including 4295 & 4301.
Maybe the 11 could get new buses and then the 61XX can move onto the 4/4A or other City routes at other garages full time as part of the 200 new buses if thats still happening?

The 67** are pretty much kept to the 5, theres no other compliant Deckers apart from the Circle Branded 61** that are allowed on the 5, they'll most likely use any branded 61** on the 4/4A that will make up for the B7TL's coming off, unless they give the 5 the single deckers and keep the 67** on other routes but I highly doubt that.

When AG had 6111-6114, then 6101-6108/10 there was enough for the 11 but they seemed to be kept to the other AG services as well as the 11.

I have to say its a shame to no longer see B7TL's on the 4/4A anymore, they've pretty much been usual on it since they first came to AG.

I completely agree with you.it will be a real shame not seeing geminis on the 4 anymore.ill deeply miss them on the 4 but its for the better.But i also agree with my friend because branded buses are for specific routes. if they arent going o their allocated routes then whats the point in branding them.

Lets be honest AG have never been great with the E200MMC's since they was new, I think theres too many branded for the 4/4A, considering they are never always on there and off trotting about on other routes. It was worse when they had the 71/72 branded as they would be going anywhere and they still seem to.
