Well it's clearly obvious as the X46 isn't listed as part of the new VOSA registrations neither is the X70.

A drop from a 10 minute to a 15 minute frequency between Rowlands Gill and Newcastle is logical if cuts are being made.

We are gonna have to see. Would be a shame to see it go.

Any recent pics of these spied anywhere, to see what work is being done & what livery they’ll wear?

I doubt it but the likely 2. (you never know they might just turn around and just be something completely different) I think they are being converted to single door if they are at Bus&Coach World.
It might be the 2019 actually cause i think these will replace the Ex London B7's at Riverside cause i dont think those B7TL's can be upgraded to Euro 6

RE: Ex-GAL Gemini 2s - missedbus - 30 Jun 2022

If I was guessing I'd say one extra EG Rider as 58 will need extra with the Follingsby extension and the rest 2019 corporate as double deck spares which can do any route into the CAZ if it starts.

I doubt they will bring 1 from that batch onto the EG Rider but you never know

Reading the comments on one of the photos (https://flic.kr/p/2nsp7FM) it seems there’s 7 examples there.
Are GNE just getting 3 of them?

I did find this in a discord server. Apparently only 6 unless there is one more under WVL385

RE: Ex-GAL Gemini 2s - Retro Nero - 14 Jul 2022

Anymore upto date news or even any photos of the ex London Gemini's or the Enviros

RE: Ex-GAL Gemini 2s - ne14ne1 - 04 Aug 2022

Single door conversion it seems:

Zooming in on the top deck window is looks like they’ve had NSAs installed too. Heart

They have to have NSA on metro replacement

It doesn’t sound like that is the case, one of the e400s doesn’t and I’m guessing this old crock doesn’t?

NSA is one of the conditions of the contract for metro replacement.

I see 6198 has flush glazed windows (not sure of the correct term):

https://flic.kr/p/2oBd4iA

Edit: because it was originally one of First London’s before being absorbed into the GAL fleet:

Bonded glazing I believe, Gasket glazing referring to individual windows separated by bodywork (like pretty much every Stagecoach bus)

That’s the one, cheers.

RE: Ex-GAL Gemini 2s - ne14ne1 - 27 May 2023

6197 is a bonded glazing example too:

Simply having bonded glazing instead of gasket glazing makes the bus look a good 15 years newer.

As is 6199.

These three were new to First London and later passed to Go-Ahead, hence the different specifications (windows, moquette, interior colours).

I had this luxury coach last time I used DFDS.
Unfortunately, there was no booze or food on that centre table.
