And possibly 1940 but haven't 1948 and 1949 returned 1949 I think certainly has so with that 1/2 plus 1795 and 1796 they should have enough but I maybe wrong although maybe an E200MMC is off the road

1940 and 1947 I believe 1940 is being used to repair 1947 or 1947 is being used to repair 1940 one way or the other bus one will be back.

Stand L in West Bromwich bus station is closed, not too sure what stand is being used as a alternative.

I saw this Yesterday if the 49 usually stops there then They were stopping on the opposite side near to Stand S where the 79 picks up. I don't know West Brom that well just S where the 79 picks up and the Stand where the 74 to Birmingham and Dudley Picks up. I don't know the letter either as I was running to make the 74 both times I caught it.

In the evening (and Sundays) the 48 interworks with the 89, so Geminis at this time aren't particularly unusual
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Looks like 80/13 has no relief driver for the 12:23 departure off West Bromwich.

Never mind relief turned up a driver told the passengers that there was no relief which would of been a issue as blocking the 80 stand but all sorted now and relief driver is here.

@Wba_lad - Can you please be certain of the facts before posting in future!

According to bustimes, 4514 hasn't operated since the 22nd of December. Is this simply a tracking issue or is there another problem with it?

Engine needs replacing

Will it be withdrawn or could it possibly get a euro 6 engine as aren't the non euro 6 buses starting to be withdrawn soon?

There are no Euro 6 engines in Gemini's, just retrofitted Euro 6 exhaust systems

4504 at WB for parts recovery as Tony mentioned further up the post, so i assume engine will go into 4514, guessing 4504 has a rotten chassis otherwise doesnt look to bad

Correction Tonys comment on 4504 parts recovery is in the  withdrawn buses thread
