7426 was on the X20 this morning. It had odd looking USB sockets in the backs of seats which I've never seen before.

Isn't this like the 7th day that ones appeared on the X12? Belmont must be having difficultly with some of their VDL Geminis.

Big'un says he hasn't seen 7609 for a while.

Not that that means much.

Neither have I, 7609 is one of the older Geminis at Belmont, Though I'm sure it happens to all of them after all its a VDL Gemini.

7609 has been allocated to the X12 every day.  The problems at the minute are being caused by 7610/7626 as they're both VOR for emissions faults, although they were being worked on last Thursday so at least one may be back on the road by now.
