New garages!

[Jack]

You made the same comment they other day. 44** geminis are exactly the same as 45** and 46** geminis

True but I'd rather have a 44**, they have loads of sentimental value to me compared to the 45** and 46** Gemini's.

There is actually a difference. 4475-4534 have the older heating controls. 4635 onwards have the newer Wrightbus heating controls. But that's minute.

Has Perry Barr ever even had an open day before? It would be nice to have an open day at PB, love the chance sit in the cab of a 44** Gemini  8)

PB has had at least one previous open day.  In 1981 or thereabouts!!!

Noticed that NX Sipson are using Merc Citaro's on the British Airways Bus contract. Thought they only used E200's but I believe the BA has been renewed and increased.  ;)

Are they new Citaro's? Or the ex Airlinks 10 plate examples?

[TT90]

New to NX Airlinks, but then transferred with the sale of Airlinks to OFJ Connections.

Yeah looks like the first picture Winston.

Will the Sipson garage be intergrating with NXWM and perhaps same terms / conditions for staff etc ?

I know someone who wants to go and work there but is currently a driver in Birmingham for NX. Can Transfer perhaps ?
