Interestingly the 5 had Geminis on Sunday just gone - thought it usually had single decks on a Sunday?

I do not recall ever seeing single deckers on the 5 on a Sunday?

Any idea on which ones have already left/will be leaving tomorrow?

When I've driven the 5 on a Sunday, it's mainly if not all Gemini run.

There is a board which runs NIS to Solihull, round trip on the 5, day on the 37 and evening on 31. This board is usually something of the 37. I had a Scania last time and got it stuck at Widney Manor, though my own fault!

I think a few evening buses come of the 37 usually too. Rumour is thosr boards are/will be changed, due to Sarehole Mill turn and I haven't seen any MMCs on the 5 since. This is all driver speculation.

Normally the odd Scania on a Sunday. Sunday just gone it was all Gemini's so they can leave it that way ta muchly.

Sods law says that the 9 I still need are in the first cull. Any gen appreciated. Cheers.

A few months ago it was mainly single deck - remember having 1933 on it - there's a post here as well.

And 2218

I passed 2215, 2216, 2217 and 2218 while travelling to  Solihull on 2204. I could not figure out what triggered the engine cut out. Can the driver prevent the cut out in some way?

Not engaging the handbrake.

The engine cuts out for a minute on start stop and then starts automatically I believe.

I've got 2217 from around 10am till 1.30pm today, then 2210 after (providing they don't break down!).

Currently on 4514 on the C.
