Saw one of the gemini 2's out yesterday in the new corporate colour on a 308 service - no logos/branding applied yet though. Didn't get the fleet number/reg - sorry.

Anybody wondering about the refurbishment of 7634? Here is a video to show the interior, it's different to the other Geminis I.E. it doesn't have MAX logos on the seats.

A mark of respect to Mark Gibbon - a well known and respected member of Arriva's management team (he was the General Manager at Redcar, prior to that manager at Stockton having worked his way up from driving staff) who sadly passed away last Thursday evening. His funeral is this afternoon.

It wouldn't have Max logos on the seats as it's not a Max route, and Max is no longer an Arriva brand. The Geminis are being refurbished into the standard Arriva specification.

Should be USBs on both decks.

I trust this vehicle is fitted with CCTV that can be passed to the police to help them throw the book at the motorist?

Sure it's withdrawn? Unless there's damage to the chassis that we can't see in the picture, it just looks like a couple of panels that need replacing. Blyth need it as cover for the Geminis that are away for refurbishment, so I imagine if they can fix it they will.
