@Mike K

I'll be 100% honest and say I'm not entirely sure - the last batch I saw with the older front was a batch of Streetdecks that First Manchester had in January this year. Dublinbus though still having deliveries of the Gemini 3 with the older front, and their special slanted windscreen. It is confusing though - I must agree. Think the Gemini 3 is the name given to the Volvo chassis Wright bodied products now.

@Liberator9

What you would have seen at First Manchester is 35102, the only Streetdeck that has been in their fleet. It and 35101 are demonstrators but now are both at South Yorkshire's Rotherham depot. The numerous livery variations FirstGroup are currently using suits the new look Wrightbus front well despite me still preferring the classic.

That would've been the one I seen - thanks - must say I like the new design - striking and smart. Looking forward to seeing a Streetdeck in Crimson. Whilst mentioning the livery, must say it looks excellent on every type so far - the first MMCs still look great despite being in service for a number of months now. Certainly weathers far better than the old Red/white

Don't speak so soon, @Chris (!) - here's the closest we'll ever get to one...  ;D :P

I agree, though, must admit - I was a bit sceptical about it at first. Likewise with the E200MMC. I guess it's just anther one of those buses that look better with a good-standard livery.  ::)

A Borismaster would be preferable to Sprint.

I think the chances of it being a Borismaster are about 0%, how could it use the bus stations at Stourbridge or Dudley with 3 doors?

[BK63 YWP]

Anyone harbour a guess whats the fleet number going to be for the streetdeck? 6099? 6149? 6200?

5101? or 4797. I can see this thread spiralling off topic with these "predictions". ::) Haha!

There's already a picture of the interior been posted and it's a Streetdeck. Looking forward to seeing this when it arrives, something a bit different. Pensnett certainly getting a better deal these days since it took over the 9 route.

6119 was parked up in the exotic surrounds of Nechells this morning, just round the corner from Star City. Guess it might be something to do with an MOT? Strange why it's all the way out here though surely there's somewhere closer
