Hi, at Go North East's Chester-le-Street depot there are 15 Volvo B5HLs with the Gemini 2 bodywork branded for Service 21. There are two spares, also branded for the Angel, these are given the fleet numbers 3962 and 3965. They are Volvo B7TL chassied Gemini 1s. They were recently fitted with free Wi-Fi like the B5HL examples and re-registered to private plates. I don't know these off the top of my head but I will find them out. I think 3965s is 570 GUP?

I too miss the Ex-London Presidents, fine machines! So much character to them, in my opinion.
