Great news really, the Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini II really is the best double decker, especially with the glazing Bus Vannin specify, build quality just feels so much better.

Next year Wrightbus will only be offering the Wright Gemini 3 (Volvo B5TL) and the integral Wright StreetDeck. Heard of and reported the latest order a while ago - believed to be replacing Tridents 17-24 in the spring

The new Volvos are very nice buses I agree - very comfortable and look very smart indeed

Yeah, but operators who have ordered B9TLs will get them delivered, it'll be a transition period, like B7TL to B9TL transition. For interest, the B7RLE will be replaced by the B8RLE, so instead of a reduction in engine size, the single deck variant gets an increase.
