Current double deckers

RE: Current double deckers
I quite like the Volvo B5 with a Gemini 3 body. We had a demonstrater with Go North East that came down from Lothian and saw use at Riverside and Crook depots, on 'Toon Link' services 11/31/32/47 and 'Pronto' service X21 respectively.

I rode it once on service X21 between Chester-le-Street and Durham (I would have rode it more but sadly it was only at Crook for a short period, a fortnight at best) and I felt it was a very nice journey.

Despite some staff saying it had not even power to handle a demanding route as the X21, I feel different about it. It was a mixture of luxury and a light-feeling I've experienced on the Volvo B5HL/Wright Gemini 2s used on service 21.

At present, I think they're my favourites. Although I haven't tried any others that are in the poll.
