From day 1, right...

2004 they had new Gemini.
2006/7 brand new B7RLE's.
2010 brand new Omnilinks.
2012 brand new B7RLE's.
2015 new MMC's (followed by 18 month old ones in 2016).

Let's not forget they also had new Presidents as well. 

A lot of AG's cascades the last few years have been around 3-5 year olds. You're the one who's clearly not blind to see this, AG have had it nicely compared to other garages. They have a fairly young fleet age as well. Still can't be pleased can you...

i meant from NEW DAY 1, not a year old , not 3 years old etc.
AG has had less Brand New vehicles than anywhere !!

NEW means NEW not ones that are over a year old, 3 years old, or just NEW to AG opinions vary, this is mine.
can somebody close this thread now please
And in the last 15 years AG has had over 100 new buses, so hardly missing out.
(Scanias / B7RLEs / E200MMCs)

The reality is that anyone can make the same argument about any other NX garage.

All garages receive new buses at some point, all garages lose vehicles when they are reallocated elsewhere, and all garages eventually end up with 'cast-offs' from elsewhere.

And no, I'm not going to close this thread on your insistence, but I will respectfully ask that it gets back 'on-topic' very quickly, and sticks to the subject of vehicles being withdrawn.


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

The very first Gemini, 4475, has been withdrawn today due to gearbox failure.
