Deliveries have resumed at Leeds for their Streetdecks from what I've seen.

Deliveries have resumed at Leeds for their Streetdecks from what I've seen.

Deliveries have resumed this week, however, I understand what's being delivered was already built prior to Wrightbus going in to administration.

I believe production re-starting is still a way off.

What I don't really understand why the administratòrs didn't keep staff on to finish buses in build  - they must have run the risk of the company thus becoming unsaleable because existing customers had gone elsewhere.

First West of England are hoping that First Leeds get their delivery of new Wright Streetdecks as soon as possible as they have pressed withdrawn buses back into service due to the expected cascade from Leeds being delayed, causing a lot of breakdowns.

I myself am a fan of the wrightbus/Volvo combo I think these were the company's best products, I think wrights have lost there way some where along the line, they need to come out and do what ADL did with Enviro 400mmc, engage with the bus operators and design a bus for them.
I am sure Lord bamford and family should be able to turn it around,  JCB products very well known through out the world.

When will Leeds get them then?

They've already taken delivery of some over the past few weeks.

Are there any Gemini 3's being built right now? Haven't seen a lot of them on the roads.
