As the Gemini broke down and is unreliable, there is only one spare vehicle left to replace it :tongueclosed::

Well, I can assure you if they was using a Gemini I, like so, they would have no problems :P

That was taken like a month ago i just wanted to upload something ;)


Is it gonna be a freeware? I Hope so XD
Of course it will be freeware, unless AD156 has other ideas :P Not sure about final release details though, whether it be on here or not is my main discrepancy. I had a release plan, using Discord however I see many a flaw in it.

If it is a Gemini 1, is it a B9TL or B7TL?
I know there is already a B7TL but just checking:)

I was reading this on my phone last night but couldn't sign in to actually drop some knowledge the First Generation of Wrightbus Gemini was introduced in 2001 now the comment made was "B7TL, clearly. It's not hard to tell if you look at the screenshot's. The entire front kinda gives it away" The Volvo B7TL was discontinued in 2006 where as the First generation body was still continued up until 2009 and the 2 axle Volvo B9TL was introduced in 2006 and that is where the Gemini 1 originally went through a facelift to support the B9TL chassis where its rear was changed as such now the Ulsterbus photograph posted is a Volvo B9TL on the First Generation body just with face lifted rear end and you can tell its a Gemini 1 by the fact you can see where the curvature ends and restarts near the headlights/Radiator panel the Gemini 2 (Second Generation) was introduced in 2008 intentionally for integral use with the VDL DB300 chassis but was then mounted onto the Volvo B9TL and B5LH but the First Generation was still produced up until 2009 where it was then discontinued and replaced by the Second Generation completely up until 2013 before being replaced by the Third Generation.

I'm not going to give anyone a history lesson on Wrightbus's Gemini Series but i just wanted to get some actual knowledge across considering the point was made "CLEARLY BY THE FRONT ITS A B7TL" moral of the story is you can get the B7TL and B9TL on the first generation of bodywork so its not clear is it.

Have a nice day everyone! :)

Oh okay don't even get me started on how confused Wright make me xD

Wrightbus bodyworks have always been confusing because they are coupled to many chassis's in which they receive different names appropriately took me a while to get to grips with the Third Gen the Streetdeck and Gemini 3 all learnt now! i think the one that gets confused the most is the Pulsar, Eclipse, Eclipse Urban, Solar, Meridian, Commuter and Fusion :)

@N531 DWM That is all just madness to me :P I never knew any of that, so thanks. I thought the Streetdeck/Gemini3 debate was hard enough to grasp, now this...Wright buses confuse me massively, with the many chassis and bodywork combinations.

Apologies to anyone I ma have misinformed, I was always on the understanding B7TL - Gemini I, B9TL - Gemini II.

Quite alright, like i said Wrightbus and their malarkey have always been confusing the only way to tell is the 'Cuboard' as i call at the rear of the bottom deck that is found on the B7TL and not on the B9TL (although it is found on the B5LH) but the best way to tell the difference between a B7TL an B9TL with First Generation Bodywork is the facelifted rear end :)

The cupboard on the B7TL Gemini I's does not alter the seats though, there is five in a line at the back, where as the B5LH, the seats are split into a three, then a two in front of the cupboard.

Now lets not even start on the B7RLE bodywork :P
