That looks rather smart on those seats, especially with the leather headrest (which is what the Citaros should have had)

Moderation note: Posts regarding the repaint/refurbishment of the four 57-plate former Brighton & Hove OmniDekkas have been split away from the main 'recent repaints' thread, to allow better discussion on the topic.

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

Last Double Decker to carry Voyager livery was Olympian 3748 (B748GCN).

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
