I'd love to preserve a Gemini when the time comes for their withdrawal. Preferably a 46xx with the original Outer Circle branding (4635/36/58/59). Always had a soft spot for 4656, even though I had an RTA in it. Well someone hit me but yeah.

I have to second this !

I agree! But why is this in the PB thread if you're on about AG Gemini's?

Lol someone was talking about the Line 33 branding on the TWM Geminis.

Without sounding like the stuck up lot on here, technically I suppose 4658 onwards are relevant to PB. (They were new to PB)

New in 2004 to Perry Barr. Transferred to AG in 2005 @Michael Bevan. Wonder if NX will do a heritage livery on a E400 or Gemini (Line 33 :)) bringing by retro liveries like first has done in Leeds

PB used to have the 11C. AG used to only have the 11A. As the 11C was operated by PB at the time they were new, they were new to the PB

It would be good if they did for 30 years of West Midlands Travel!

Maybe they could repaint a bus in the WMT Metrobus livery

Ive read on facebook that 7032 was on the 907 this afternoon.

Indeed it was. Just seen a Facebook post from one of the drivers who drove it today. It was apparently a change bus for 4697.

Might be interesting to see the 'National Express West Midlands' fleetname in the West Midlands Travel font.

(And also in the WMPTE font as well!)

Yeah have you ever wondered why the number plates are jumbled up on the 46xx Geminis. If you sort them all alphabetically you'll see pretty much the order they were delivered. 4635-4638 and 4658-4660 were the firstish ones I believe. You can check the number plates for these and see that they're consecutive. The first two for AG and the first two for PB had the big Circle across the sides of the bus, whilst the rest had smaller branding. If you check the oldest pictures for 4658-4679 you'll see some on PB routes.
