I've travelled on a lot of both Enviro400 & Gemini's in London and from a personal point of view I'd prefer Gemini's, those at Speke & Birkenhead are fantastic. We may get the new generation Enviro400 then. Wonder why the shift to Alexander Dennis products? Arriva it would appear are a staunch Wright/VDL customer. And it may mean nothing but isn't the Stagecoach chairman also part owner of Alexander Dennis? Hence why Alexander Dennis products account for 85% of Stagecoaches recent 568 vehicle order. |

Apparently Wrightbus are going to stop offering Gemini bodywork on the DB300 which is why current and future orders are for enviro 400's. Too be honest i also prefer the Gemini bodywork and Wrightbus in general compared to Alexander Dennis still at least its better than the current B7TL alx400's that are currently running Southport's 375/385 and Speke's 86. |

VDL are no longer producting left hand drive bus chassis, hence the orders for StreetLites and Enviro400s now.

Regarding the 19 deckers for sthelens didn'tthey order 19 pulsars for the 10a ie 2965_2983 then ordered 2984-2993 for the 10 laterit just seems they may be going the same way due to there budget |

The words i got told are " we are to receive 23 new double deckers for the 10 road next year and then the pulsars that get released off the 10's will Will replace all the older veichles and allow them to be withdrawn, them being "V , X and Y reg" veichles". |

Blame tiredness for my mistake - yes, all VDL Right Hand drive chassis are going out of production and that includes the SB200 which Wright bodied with the Pulsar bodywork.

Thanks!
