Could be my colour blindness letting me down but looks like it's had the revised coloured seat frames.

Well that's how Geminis have all been refurbed up until now, save these ones being Crimson and having the newer style moquette. Looks very nice though I must say!

Well yeah but surely they should prioritise crimson morquette as all Gemini's will go into crimson eventually. Also if that was the case why would they have retrimed the E400s, as they has the morquette prior to Crimson red dot.

Its a real shame we won't see no crimson in Tridents.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

It's got the new Crimson moquette, not sure what you are going on about, all repaints have new seat covers in the same frames which is exactly what has happened with 4529

I think BC's 97 branded ALX's might be the first ALX400 candidates for Crimson, most of them are absolutely tatty.

Well maybe the 45** and 46** could get crimsonised, probably not though.

Wicked livery Tony, will WA buses get this? the white and red is a bit tatty to be honest, white gets dirty quick, plus the red bit on the E400s are going pink!

While waiting in traffic I noticed a new 200 Mmc lower panels were quite dirty yet with new livery it didn't look the mess it would have been if it were white. Just goes to show picking the right colour to do the job makes all the difference.
