Double Decker Wrights ( Not including Streetdeck )

Welcome to a Post on Double Decker Wrights ( Not including the Streetdeck with new front and Borismaster ). In this post I will be displaying pictures of different Gemini bodies and if I can when production ended with that particular body.

The first edition Gemini was introduced in 2001 the earlier models had a different back however the later ones had backs the same as the Gemini 2 did. Production ended in 2009 when the second one was introduced pictured below is First Lowestoft Gemini 37571 AU58 ECV.

 The Second edition Gemini the Gemini 2 was introduced in 2009 after the first edition Gemini it was a more modern version of the first edition Gemini. Production was shorter than the first edition Gemini only lasting for 4 years and ending in 2013 with the introduction of the Gemini 3 in late 2013. Brighton and Hove have a large number of Gemini 2s and my example of a Gemini 2 is a Brighton and Hove one. The Gemini 2 is Route 5 branded 474 ( BJ63 UJB ) on the 13X.

 The Gemini 3 was introduced in 2013 and it is even more better than the Gemini 2 but I still like the Gemini 2 though. There hasn't been much opportunities for me to get photos of them because none are in my area. The photo I have of a Gemini 3 for you is of Silver demonstrator SN64 CTU which was on trial with Brighton and Hove earlier this year. It is a Streetdeck with a ' classic ' front and not the new front but it has Gemini 3 bodywork it had a temporary fleet number of 8888.

There are a few more posts coming up on the blog including my trip to Brighton that I went on earlier this week.
