I managed to get a picture of HV281. Not the best but yeah they've got LEDs. HV283 also has LEDs according to LVF, but that doesn't seem to have been out yet That is a perfect display there! 😁

8174 refurbished for the R68, certainly looks a lot more red compared to other TUK E200 refurbs - but very smart.

13127 is back on the 135 after being off road for over a month - presumably it should have been refurbished.
Seems like either 13124 or 13137 is the next one to get done.

Ok here is the picture HV281 & HV282 fully refurbished and fitted with LED blinds Sorry the photograph is not clear but the blinds are 100% LED. With 2, 249 and 468 all being recently retained, I assume all Gemini 3 HVs at N will have LEDs soon. I do wonder if HV280 will be an exception as that was refurbished ages ago and still has powerblinds Meanwhile, with the subsequent wins of routes 196 & SL6, it would make sense to include these routes in the LED displays, in case of lower availability of electric buses for either route.

With the UX 16 plate DELs, they retained their black headlight, as did some of the 17 reg hybrids on the 483 but it seems theyve returned to all red tomatoes

But you’re not an average traveller, you’re an enthusiast who doesn’t look at things in the average way. I can’t imagine someone measuring at the size of the windows and the placement of the ibus screen. That said I respect your opinion and I agree regarding the windows on the Gemini 3, but as someone who’s driven both the Gemini is a better bus. I prefer the Gemini's as they seem to have less annoying rattles and their suspension makes the ride far more comfortable than what an MMC or an older Enviro can give. The G3 suspension is worse than the G2 ones but they are still much better than a crappy ADL product

I think your confusing partial refurb with partial repaint as I don't think I've ever heard an operator partially refurb a bus before. What's probably happened is the bus in question has been in the wars and had some new body panels fitted giving the impression. For it to be refurbished, the interior would need to have been done and I doubt it has.

Seen those quite an few times on a B5LH and DEs/DELs. Looks like an partial repaint at front with rest still pre-refurb. Normally an result of frontend rebuild due to RTC repairs.
