The Wright Gemini 3 is classed as a Gemini 3 as it is on a Volvo chassis, Streetdecks are only the ones fully built by Wrightbus.

Yes they probably will if the N15 is partially operated by Bow.

Bad weather and a ton of trees covering light left the conditions for photographs a little less than desirable! Nevertheless, I'm rather pleased with the way this photo came out. :D

07 August 2019 - I've more photographs on my Flickr, but here's a few personal favourites from my trip this past Wednesday.

Hornchurch
Stagecoach        19000, LX55 HGC
https://flic.kr/p/2gTCLmu

Holborn Viaduct
Tower Transit     WH31104, SN68 AGA
https://flic.kr/p/2gTuAVG

Highbury Corner
Metroline            BDE2619, LJ19 CUH
https://flic.kr/p/2gSPNEY


I've booked my tickets for my next trip, which is in about a week or so; hoping to catch the Geminis in Croydon while I still can! (and GAL's PJ02 RCU, fingers crossed!)

Regent Street, Oxford Circus terminus
BCE47025
https://flic.kr/p/2izfGDs


The photo of 47025 is a personal favourite of mine; I quite like how the top of the vehicle aligns itself near perfectly with the base of the window ledge - something I hadn't realised I've shot until post-edit. ;)

Not quite sure which topic this falls under, but I suppose this is as good as any...

New Street Station
DW101   in 'as new' condition - minus fleetnames
https://flic.kr/p/2jRa5pH

Driven past me by chance on Monday night and was lucky to find it parked when I got into town (in hopes of photographing it) on Tuesday night! All's well considering my timings were a complete shot in the dark! (no pun intended)

Shameless plug of the first Spirit of London, 19000 which I believe is now preserved (Excuse the quality  ;D )

Spent Monday in London after the Coronation in search for the Coronation buses. Didn't manage to find Abellio's Electroliner (3006) or Stagecoach's ADL/BYD E400EV (84148) as they weren't out... (Typical!)
