4099 is an AG President isn't it? Did you mean 4098 or possibly you meant to put 4799?

Definitely wasn't 4799, that was on 50 shorts all day.

Sorry using my phone;

Are Presidents allowed on the 2/3 or do they break it with a frequency of more than 30 minutes?

No, they shouldn't be on any of YW's city centre services; however, non-compliant vehicles may be used as a last resort, in order to keep a service running

Thanks for that John :) Do NXWM get fined for instances like this as a fair few Euro 2 buses have been reported on routes which would break the Emissions Zone?

I don't know Nathan, as Matt said they can be used as a last resort rather than no bus running at all

I saw 2-3 buses on Saturday on the 48 and they were both Gemini's

Also Rob is it me or does a B7RLE daily work the 957 as one is reported on here regually. I was wondering whether one board was a B7 and stays out untill late night or whether it interworks with certain 58 journey's?

No B7s dont appear on the 957 in the daytime on a daily basis I think they're just filling in for now while 4899 and 4909 are being repaired.

As far as I know all 957 daytime boards are E400's with Trident's and B7's filling in if any E400's are out of action.

Everytime I see a B7 on the 957 in the daytime its always on a different board. :)
