Isn't this just the special Hybrid version Gemini that Wrightbus launched a few months ago? Of which First have ordered a few for London.

I'm not 100% sure whether it is the hybrid version. It would make sense seen as the Eclipse Gemini only recieved a facelift last year when the B9TL was launched.

It IS the face-lifted version and production will start sometime later this year, not just for the hybrid version.
It's about time they updated the bodywork of the Wrights, they should of done it with the introduction of B9 Gemini/B7 Urban if you ask me.

I disagree.
I think the Eclipse/Gemini still look fresh and modern and i always say if it aint broke don't fix it.
They did a good job with the rear end alterations on the Gemini, the original version being too boring looking to fit in with the rest of the bus.
As for the facelif model, the jury's still out for me since i saw the photo in Buses.

It looks good, I cant help but think the front end of the bus resembles the Wright Streetcar FTR but fused with an Eclipse gemini body, it'll look decent though , almost like a double deck streetcar.

Yeh they have taken the front styling of the StreetCar and created this new looking Gemini double decker.
Looks good, ive always like the Gemini and Iam look forward to seeing one of these new look buses when they are built later in the year.

Wright have a preference for similar body appearances (not least for cost savings from standardisation) across its range so it should come as no surprise that the Gemini should soon look more like the StreetCar - expect a similarly styled Eclipse single deck body at some stage too.
