@Stuharris 6360 I think LS is referring to the design of the new E200 MMC, that of which is a descendant of the Dart.

Thanks @Nathan i understand now.  :) :)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I used to like the fact that AG was Dennis free but with these new MMC's coming .....   :(

Had the pleasure of a ride on 4526 on the 37 home this evening. I know it's only been recently transferred from Perry Barr, but it needs a lot of attention interior-wise especially upstairs. Most of the windows are etched, as well as the plastic stairwell surround, especially in front of the two seats behind the staircase.

I suppose we've been spoilt recently with the interior quality of our own Geminis, so a bus in this condition really stands out as a reminder of the 'bad old days'.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Every Gemini already at AG or still to arrive at AG without the grey moquette will go through Walsall this year

Didnt think 4024 the v regs were allowed into the city centre being as you said it was on the 37 ?

@Jaysnerz007, they're not supposed to be used on the 37, hence why I posted it as a 'noteworthy working'. ;)

Just seen the pic of 2201. Only 2 nearside windows? They won't ventilate the bus much in the hot weather.

They are B46/F i believe so are full size buses. This length effectively replaced the E300.
