9065 has been re-numbered 6172, now becoming a permanent member of the fleet.

It has been repainted into the base livery of Voyager, with all seats being re-trimmed. Internally, the lower-deck floor has also been completely renewed (although this is the only one that will be done in allover blue, the remaining three will have the gangway in grey as per the upstairs).

Are they full height? They look not far off the height of the B9

Think the difference in height is only 6 inches between the two. 13'11" compared to 14'5" for the Geminis, I think.

Indeed, motors which have been switched off are not a fair judgement of height either, as one may still have more or less air in the suspension
