Same journey today, Tuesday, was operated by Volvo B7 Gemini double deck 32670.

I think the reason could be because that journey serves Gala Academy on its way to Edinburgh and the deckers can provide the necessary capacity without the risk of overcrowding,

Speaking of Geminis. Lothian lost one of theirs on Monday night after 390 (SN11EDX) was destroyed by fire in the Oxgangs area of the city while working service 4. The cause of the fire was arson and the police are hunting for a teenager who was seen leaving the bus at Oxgangs Library shortly before the fire started; the driver and passengers managed to escape without injury. The damage to 390 is very severe and has reportedly affected its structure - early indications are that it will be written-off.
