The new bus in question is the same vehicle (BF63 HDC) that previously spent time at First Manchester's Oldham depot and First West Yorkshire's Halifax depot, where it had the fleet number 36300. www.flickr.com/photos/york-bus/23657448820/

Its certainly done the rounds, has this bus. Ive seen it in the flesh in Edinburgh, where it looked magnificent in Lothian buses livery, ive also seen it on the 503 and in Oldham. Its the last of its kind style-wise, as Wright have deleted this shape of Gemini 3, instead only offering the autonymous "stealth" shaped version, which is virtually identical in Streetdeck and Gemini 3 application. Interesting to note that when the current demo has ended, EYMS has purchased this vehicle, so still available to view in Yorkshire, albeit the far east.

Demo Bus B (BF63 HDC) has now finished its trials with Coastliner and has returned to Wrightbus
A decision will now be made based on reliability, comfort, fuel economy, adaptability to the route and customer feedback, with a order for the new vehicles being placed in the new year

Mystic Tim predicts Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TL... Pity they haven't tested the new Optare Metrodecker, any failures could be returned direct to the factory
