Saw the PVS tow truck again yesterday this time with a yellow Alero and another yellow Solo on the back. Cumfybus must be having a good clear out.

If cumfybus are having a clear out it should involve most of their vehicles

VX51RBF is one of the scrapped solos. Parked next to it is an unidentifiable alero

That Alero is almost certainly YP52 BPE. It's the only one I remember them having in that livery.

Do the gemini's ever see service work these days on anything ?

Sadly not

The Geminis used to run on the 133 Waterloo-Kirkby but I was recently told by a driver that they were taken off this route due to complaints about the service running late when the Geminis were on it. Also the ex Prestonbus Versas seem to have disappeared off the 133 too and the usual Solos are back on it.

Why would the use of bigger buses, make the service run late?, unless more passengers are using it when bigger buses are on the route!

Manoeuvrability immediately springs to mind as a possibility
