Lothian Buses: Volvo B7TL / Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini 1

English: Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini (1) bodied Volvo B7TL buses operated by Lothian Buses. The company took delivery of 125 between September 2005 and February 2007, in two batches. They were the first new type of double-decker for the company since 2000, replacing the previous standard Trident / President combination. They were the only double-decker type bought in this period for the standard fleet, although a batch of 5 Scania OmniCity's also arrived in August 2006 for the airport fleet. They were the first Wright/Volvo double-deck combination taken by Lothian (coming after the first single-deckers - B7RLE / Eclipse Urban 1 batches arriving in 2004); they were followed by the B9TL / Gemini 1 batches. They were delivered new in Harlequin livery, with most buses also having some form of route branding on it, greatly increasing the number of branded routes/buses in the fleet (just 4 from the first batch and 32 from the second were not branded). All have since been repainted into Classic livery, although again most carry branding.
