YX12 AFZ, YX12 AGZ and YX12 AYF were noted parked in the yard of Centrebus' Wenlock Way depot, in Leicester, on 31/10/2017.

YX12AYF has appeared on D&G'S fleetlist as no.3, along with YX12AOF and YX12AON which are 1 and 2.

The 09:50, 10:50 and 11:50 X12 ex Burton are all DD operated, all the rest are SD.

A Gemini decker operated the 17:08 X12 from Sutton Coldfield this afternoon.

That's an unusual sighting at that time of the day.

If anyone's interested on what that could look like, here you go.  :D



I'm not sure on the exact route it'll take, but I took a guess with it going via Lichfield.

The repaint looks great but all it needs is a good map to put it into use. Saying that i'm planing on making an extension to the Birmingham  map to mere green and Lichfield

When Central Buses ran it it went via Kingsbury Road, the A38 at Swinfen Hall, appeared to avoid Lichfield city centre but called at Trent Valley Island, then via the A38 past Fradley -  see http://www.midlandclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/bootsleaflet.pdf

Looks pretty much the same except this time it isn't going via Trent Valley Island according to the route description, just straight up the A38.

Just seen a Midland Classic Gemini in Balsall Common on Kenilworth Road. Presumably some sort of rail replacement/private hire.

That's right. I had a great ride on DAF/Gemini 44 from Coventry to International, calling at all stations, this afternoon.  A similar Midland Classic Gemini followed us, and near Berkswell Station we passed a couple of Midland Classic pink ex-Reading Scanias en route from International to Rugby via all stations.
