Doubledeckeranton shows one of the oldest low floor doubledeckers in service (filmed March 2018) before departing London in late April 2018.
This 16 year old bus is a Wright bodied Volvo Gemini B7TL that was built in Ireland around the year 2002 and they have a 7.3 litre engine displacement.
These were the 1st versions of the Gemini double decker and had rear facing seats on the upper deck that can seat 9 people facing each other at the back!
On the lower deck the wheelchair/buggy ♿ area was very tight with an additional single seat squeezed in between the staircase and the wheelchair ♿ area!
Anton did not realise at the time that these buses would be leaving the garage only 6 months after the similar Plaxton bodied Volvos that departed London in November 2017!

this is one of the most extraordinary buses that i have ever seen in my life

In terms of fashionable æsthetics, the Gemini bodywork has aged well. It looks considerably more modern than ALX400 or Plaxton President.

These buses were always my favourite to travel on and I can even remember when they were brand new on the 468 which had just passed to London Central at the time. Back then there were still AVLs and so many PVLs. They will be missed :-(

Never seen someone so passionate about a bus lol

@robbiemorrison7085 3 года назад

I used to live in London until early 2006 when I was 5, I remember seeing these buses brand new! Probably have even been on this bus

@jackcooper384 5 лет назад

Great video Anton. This bus has got a new life around Oxford, I've seen it on school serivces in Abingdon. I believe it is with Walters Coaches which is based in Wheatley.

Bus company called Carousel had 1 from Go Ahead. We had LG02 KJE from Go-Ahead and I remember I sat in the “single seat” when I went to college on it in Buckinghamshire. Same livery as the one you’re showing too! Brings back some memories! 😩

In Canada we have busses from 1995 still running

@bencrosbie 5 лет назад

They look just as modern as the new ones not alot has changed really. I reckon they should be sold instead of scrapped. Looks solid.

We had East Lancs Vykings here in Harrow. They were amazing to ride, (well, I found them amazing) and it's a shame that they've left :(

LG52DDF&DDE are still in regular service after retiring to the west country with Faresaver! Nice buses, and they should still be in service for a while yet...

Miss these old Volvo B7TL's, we had 2002 plaxton president bodied ones around 7 of them and a few ex London Volvos also plaxton president bodied with the dual doors. Sadly ours were withdrawn back in 2016 and been replaced with new enviro400 buses. We still have two left which were converted to half open top buses 🚍 I loved these and the Scania OmniCity double decker buses which we still have in service over here on the Isle of Wight 🙂

@pcbob1755 3 года назад

Watched this video about 100 times 😂 The company I clean for have 3 ex-Go Ahead B7TLs, LF52ZNK, ZPE and ZPP.

Funny you should mention a Dulwich. I am a tram driver in Sydney, my route goes from Central Station to a place called Dulwich Hill.

@NC-002 5 лет назад

They were a lot more comfy than the new Wright buses. Although I personally prefer the Plaxtons as they are lovely and comfortable

@Jallge 6 лет назад

This batch were new for route 85 in early to mid 2002. The 85 was then lost to London United in mid 2016, so these few survived being withdrawn after that, and managed to last almost a full 16 years in regular service.
