6143 has now been branded. It looks rather bland, to be honest. Couldn't see exactly what it was for.

Does anyone know a exact or procise date for x5 citaro to come on?
There was chat somewhere (can't find it despite looking) about the spare Gemini's at Chester having a bit of a tart up.
It's a shame they didn't get to finish off 3963. Apart from the back row of seats that are in a new moquette, the rest of the downstairs saloon are minging.
Hopefully the two attached photos show the seats in their full glory.

That said I can imagine that the rest of the seats in 3943 not being so fresh.

(12 Jan 2017, 9:22 pm)Andreos1 The base of the rear facing seats were mucky, but the backs were too. Ditto the other downstairs seats. The decision to sit where I did (on blue seats, rather than whatever colour the others are), was a deliberate one.
I haven't been on 3943 for a good while to be honest. Can't remember what they were like last time I was on it.

(12 Jan 2017, 9:50 pm)Ambassador 3965 looks pretty decent now. I'm guessing it's the first tart up its had since it was on the 724. On a side the old swipey yellow and red made the Geminis look fantastic like.
I caught one of the Omnishambles back on the 21 (17.50) out of Eldon Square, an absolute dirty squeaking mess. I know they were pressed into service without a planned tart up but they really are rank inside, which is a shame as if you lost the squeak, a nice ride really but I believe the 21 would kill them off sharpish.

6047 has broken down at Gateshead Int, towards Eldon.
