7033 is on the 15A

Drove past Walsall just, and there is another crimson Enviro400 parked at the side, looks ready to be collected. Probably 4825

Yes that is 4825, finished on Sat so included in last weeks figures, but not yet collected by PB

[Stevo]

So when the 4 Geminis in paint come to AG it will have as many crimson vehicles as red and white - 150 total and 75 crimson.

[DavieDD2]

Looks like there's been more ex Dundee buses (70xx) than current ones repainted!

4825 now back at PB with 4821 at Walsall, just one of this batch left to do now, 4824 which is on the 7 today

[Gareth]

Noticed 4819 on the 16 today. Is this its first outing? You could almost see you face in the silver painted wheels and gleaming paintwork.

Just wondering why there are two separate PN blocks. One for just 3301 and one for the MMCs

They are listed in fleet number order , no other reason

[Ronnoc]

I'm still quite confused why they are repainting some of the Gemini's which have been repainted within 1 year.

The only one of those refurbished twice in a short period is 4659 after RTC damage. 4644 was previously done in 2012.

[Jack6101]

And 4649 got done in July 2015 (red and white) and again in December 2016 (crimsonhttp://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/4475-4699/4649.html
