Nope, in garage this morning.

Passed the garage on my way home this evening, and I could see an OmniLink parked up in the front row among the Geminis in the front yard (behind the gate?). @MW are these the first buses to go out in the morning?

Any particular reason why you would be considering transferring garages so soon? Fed up with going round in circles?

Hahahaha

I was by the garage earlier myself (9ish) and I saw an MMC and a Gemini parked at the front leaving after a driver boarded and left with them

You reckon the fog this morning was a "decoy" so NX could hide the new branding?? Haha! :P #conspiracy

The grey branding looked ok I thought, wasn't very eye catching but it looked smart. Just think this will be the 4th 11 branding for the geminis!

-TWM
-NX grey
-NX Green
-NX Yellow!

This isn't as good as the green branding.

Suppose some people would say any branding is better than none, have to say IMO in this case no branding would be better!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Yeah. The Omnilink is usually parked inside by the fuel pumps and used as the Staff bus.

I quite like the 11 branding actually - fine, Crimsons on the 11 would look far better, however this will do fine. Nice now to see the AG Geminis looking smart and refurbished in comparison to their previous tatty state.

I saw 6145 driving along Westley Road towards the village around 11:40am yesterday morning, had 'Driver Training' on the front display.

4672 route branded for the 11A/C looks well nice

4668 (I think it was this one) is also branded on the 11C. They've got brabding at the back upper window in yellow, and green in lower window.

Yep, just seen this one. Looks like it's advertising the family daysaver on the bottom rear window.
