Most of the older ones I've driven have either had their kickdown removed and thus not been able to scream/rev as much or they've felt ever so slightly less powerful.

Whether that helps you or not, I don't know
03 plate Gemini's better than 53 plate Gemini's. Most of the 53 plates have worked at WB so they probably wrecked most of them. 03 plates are the best batch there is.

You'd think that all of that is rubbish, and they'd be the same, but funnily enough, a few of the engineers I spoke to whilst the 45xx were returning to AG also said that these buses were in a lot better condition before they left AG. Even whilst driving them, a lot of them had worn out steering wheels for example, whilst the 46xx batch were still tidy. Having said that, 4508 was one that always stood out to me as being a very good bus.

Just seen her drive past the bus I was on (Johnsons 87), on Kenilworth Road. A tad annoying as I'm off to Solihull now. Now that I know she's out, I'll catch the 82 back to Coventry, as soon as I arrive..

She was displaying the 28; is that the route number given to the JLR shuttle? And how long does it stay out?

Update: finally caught a photo, just as she was entering the garage. Cheers for the help, @centralcontrol & @2206
