That doesn't always happen. Sometimes I make a small edit to my posts it doesn't always say that I edited and the time I edited it below.

No it doesn't, if you edit it soon after it was posted.

4688 - Gemini

Had this beauty on the 16:13 departure from Hassop Road to City. Sounds great, didn't struggle up Booths Farm Hill. Interior stills looks smart, exterior looking exceptional. Brakes good, doors quick and don't squeal, suspension a little bouncy. A real Gem! 9/10

[Trident 4194]

Been travelling on alx 400 B7TL all week for about 40 mins a day. Must say these are amazing vehicles and beat most tridents still in service. The powerful engines give them good acceleration and I must say are far smoother than the tridents. I've been on some with the old moquette which still looks alright to be honest as there quite a bright blue still. Will be a sad time when these dissapear. Good old Volvo make a great product here, and the Gemini's are as good. Put adl to shame really...

Very underrated vehicles

4693 - Gemini

Had this on the 907 from Sutton to Birmingham. The interior and exterior look smart, the bus looked smartly presented. Was quick when the driver put his foot down over the A34 flyover and underpass. Lovely warm heating throughout the vehicle. Suspension is fine, brakes a little noisy.
This one sounded more like a ZF Gemini over a Voith Gemini but that could of been because of the loud heaters.

8/10

4319 - Only had it for a short trip from Darlaston to Wednesbury on the 79 but even then, it went like the clappers, still has the original TWM moquette in pretty good condition and is fairly clean overall. 10/10 would veg again.

Passenger: Driver, is the lad at the back of the bus ok? Seems to be not moving at all

Driver: I believe he is vegging, which is also know as a Busgasm 

[Trident 4194]

4672 on the 11 today. Cooling fans blaring away, haven't been on a Gemini this loud for a long time. Interior a bit of a mess, and not the quickest of buses picking up speed, but the cooling fans made up for that.

8/10

[Trident 4194]

732- on the 19 last night. These are so much better than the other stumpys. Got great power and vibrate a lot less than the other stumpys however they are still incredibly rattly. If only nx had more of them.

4435- on the 9 tonight. Incredibly fast and warm trident. All that you need from a bus. It's smart card reader wasn't working mind, which sped boarding up, and saved my bus pass its trouble of being rejected before eventually being accepted. 9/10

Have these got Allison gearboxes? If so, that's probably why they perform better.

Allison/Cummins is a much better set up than Voith/Cummins.

If only Streetlites (Euro 5) came with an Allison option. They'd no doubt be a hell of a lot better than they are with the Voith set up.
