Mind you, the diversion is fantastic for pokemon go. I put almost 1km onto our eggs, this afternoon, and went critical twice!

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.

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.

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.

Had a quick look as I passed 6143, and close up it looks canny imo, it's advertising the writes.

It will be about 18 months since I had a ride on that. The smell of stale dishcloths has stood with me all this time.
I'm glad a vehicle on such a prestigious route has (eventually) had something done to it. Will keep my eyes open for it and try and get it (as with Washington's example, I always struggle to get it and usually end up on a branded vehicle or ex-London President).

The interior in 6134 is appalling.

6047 has broken down at Gateshead Int, towards Eldon.
