Brand new Volvo B5TL/ Wright Gemini 3 13807 was on show in Carlisle city centre today - when I visited it was absolutely throwing it down.
Must say these vehicles are incredibly smart inside and out; the extra windows at the front of the top deck do make a difference, as does the glass roof and glass along the stair well.
Interestingly the vehicles do not have vandal screens - will this be the first Stagecoach order to not come with them by default?
Asked the driver who was showing people around - he said all of the Kendal drivers were asked previously whether they would like them or not. Due to the Lakes being relatively trouble-free, they mostly/all voted against the screens.
