4669 has recieved the green sticker that says that its been upgraded, despite the fact it has not.
The only 11 branded buses that have been upgraded are 4660 and 4679.

4669 does have a trap fitted and an e-fan

Sorry, is it just, 4660, 4669 and 4679 that have them from the 11 brandeds, or have I missed any others?

Why do they have traps and e-fans? They hardly go into the city.

They're probably due the Crimson treatment

Whenever that will happen. 4637 has been done a few weeks and no other `trapped` Gemini`s have been sent from AG.

The same reason lots more buses will get traps, to help clean the air up in areas they run through

That's a good thing to hear. I wonder if that councillor in Bearwood will be happy about clean buses going up Bearwood Road.

Each Year buses are nominated for refurbishment in the following year. Total number being dependant on money available. The YW & BC ones need doing under the SQPS agreement so were authorised last year. No more Tridents or Geminis will be authorised as the life left doesn't warrant the spend.

Buses that are an embarrassment will still be given a repaint, but not a refurb
@MW , I don't think they'll be done now.

Make the most of 4663 and the like blaring the cooling fans out loud then. 4504 is one that seems to always be on too.

4504s fans have been going for ages. I do miss this one at PB.

4637 still got done. 4502/4651/4658 should hopefully be done.

Reminded me of this video

It's a shame 4508 is branded for the circle. I would love to bash that on the 5. Cooling fans blaring around Monkspath. Keep an eye out for 4503, that one has its fans going all the time.

I used to get annoyed by being woken up at 5am with the Gemini's roaring past my window with the fans in the Summer last year. Lol
