I guess artist impressions always look slightly bolder than the real thing in the flesh - hopefully the camera won't lie when Buses mag covers it and the Expo on November 20 when the December issue comes out... I had another look at the bus and it's okay... even the MetroDecker is okay... Wright have been cautious, they have recently started a Mortgage business in Isleworth ... ... just in case StreetDeck sales are a little slow to start off with Maybe they'll park a few at the back ready for Arriva/TGM lool. I think you might be right The Mrs does works as a cleaner at the offices of Buses magazine... ... she managed to sneak a PDF of next month's mag onto her USB stick

Taken from buses magazine on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/busesmagazine) - Wrightbus has released its first images of the new front and slightly restyled rear of its double-deck StreetDeck integral and Gemini 3 body. The complete vehicles will be at Euro Bus Expo and the first StreetDeck order has been announced from Brighton & Hove, for 25. All this and a great deal more will be described in detail in December BUSES, on sale 20 November. Maybe you ought to read that! I did read that thank you very much. However I read the article differently that the restyle was for the StreetDeck only but rereading that is clearly not the case. PS loose the attitude, my response was very polite, unlike yours. I was pointing you in the right direction seeing as you jumped the gun, in a post that imo wasn't as polite as you seem to think it is. 'It is not a Gemini 3, it is a Streetdeck. Difference, the streetdeck is an integral' sounds rather condescending.

I read the update was to the integral only, not the Gemini. I freely admit that. However my post in no way shape or form was condescending to you, your reply was. All you needed to say, was the first line says it is both the integral and Gemini 3 and left it at that. But oh no, you get all high and mighty.

Come on guys, let's not argue over how good the StreetDeck 2S looks... I believe the mods would not like to see skirmishes like this... ajw, go stand in the corner for 3 minutes and think about what you have done, then you can come back and join the rest of the class... It would be interesting to see how many will order the StreetDeck, Go Ahead and First have thrown their hat into the ring, I assume Arriva will follow suit... I wouldn't be surprised if Tower Transit order some, to shift some of the older stock at AS, or for future plans in West and South London? I even think Metroline will try some to replace the thirsty B9TLs such as those on the E2 (Voith is better for Ealing's more hilly areas...)

Was my first reading of the article right, that the new front and body is StreetDeck only or is it Gemini 3 too? Now confused.

The article mentioned and Gemini 3 and that both will be at the expo. So If I am wrong we will find out next week

This is actually the ugliest bus I have ever seen... I honestly didn't think the Gemini 3 could get any worse. The bottom half of the front looks like an E400 MMC and the top half is just an absolute flop. The stair windows are disgusting, if they want to have windows there then at least make it curve like the NBFL. From the rear, it looks like my 4 year old brother tried to draw an old style Gemini 3 (ikr, it's already 'old'). Stagecoach better not order any of these pieces of crap...
The fact that the Gemini 3 has to be restyled after less than a year in production says a lot in itself.
Disclaimer- What I've said is my personal opinion and is not intended to offend anyone in any way whatsoever.

Pretty much as these were my initial thoughts on the vehicle. I still fell the current gemini 3/streetdeck design is far better!!
