Not been too many Wright bodied Volvos in recent months, with both TT and Metroline specifying the MCV bodywork instead

these were definitely Wrights..............somehow I don't think MCV would be shipping them to Heysham!

WH31124 was unusually delivered through Birkenhead a few days back, along with some for KMB in Hong Kong and a plain white Streetdeck (Somerset Passenger Solutions?) http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/47421181771

I wasn't doubting you! It was more a comment that Wrights had missed out on a lot of business in London recently due to MCV coming in. Personally I really don't like the Gemini 3, and think it's a massive step back from the Gemini 2...

They aren’t Volvos. TT have bought integral StreetDecks.

they had Volvo badges on the back, so I think they were.......

The bus in the picture in Post 4 is a StreetDeck. If it were a Volvo then TT would have classed it VH like the others.

Not sure why a convoy of Volvos would be on the motorway, not that I’m doubting you either but I don’t believe that Tower have any Volvos on order ... all Tower Is expecting right now is the StreetDecks going onto the 25 imminently.
