New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

[2206]

The Geminis were originally 'new' for the 11A/C when it was upgraded back in 2004. The irony is that the route has been 'upgraded' with older vehicles ever since.

I would expect the transfer of E400MMCs to see older Volvo B7TLs withdrawn, but it remains to be seen where any left over Geminis end up.

I did some calculations a while back and I estimated the 11A/C needs about 43-45 buses.

From a personal point of view, I would have probably preferred these to stay at YW and upgrade the 2 and 3. But then I can't always have my own way.  ;)

It'll be interesting to see what happens with 4276 - 4291 on the 5/73 and what replaces these, as I believe it was said the Gemini can't go under the bridge on Robin Hood Lane in Hall Green due to the signing.

4276-91 Will be staying at AG for the time being. The next target is to get every bus in Birmingham Euro 6 for 2020, so no rush to remove Euro 6 vehicles

According to a new instagram post, mobile signs is back at BC and I presume they're doing something with whichever Dundee MMC is down there.

Wonder what branding the X70 will have and have the busses already been built

[I love Walsall buses]

Is 28 platinums enough to cover both the 9 and X10. Or is the X9 coming?

they might both get combined into one route and the 9 getting extended to Merry Hill

I was told that WB would be getting some of the left over Geminis, but who knows how true that is.

Gemini's potentially for the 48 then. That wouldn't be a first.

9 goes to Stourbridge and the x10 goes to merry hill, they would not merge the routes

I heard they were going to be withdrawn, which I found stupid.

Will the street decks stay at pensnstt for the 126/14

[SK68MEV]

Are these buses now getting built or are they almost finished

Not enough.

I've heard they're moving to Dundee

[Trident 4194]

Not enough.

Please no. Wasn't there a rumour about there being more streetdecks on order?
