Oldest Bus 'Not In Service' Anymore! 😢

Doubledeckeranton shows one of the oldest low floor doubledeckers in service (filmed March 2018) before departing London in late April 2018.
This 16 year old bus is a Wright bodied Volvo Gemini B7TL that was built in Ireland around the year 2002 and they have a 7.3 litre engine displacement.
These were the 1st versions of the Gemini double decker and had rear facing seats on the upper deck that can seat 9 people facing each other at the back!
On the lower deck the wheelchair/buggy ♿ area was very tight with an additional single seat squeezed in between the staircase and the wheelchair ♿ area!
Anton did not realise at the time that these buses would be leaving the garage only 6 months after the similar Plaxton bodied Volvos that departed London in November 2017!

British Bus Drivers: *consider 17 year old bus old

[@ccityplanner1217]

In terms of fashionable æsthetics, the Gemini bodywork has aged well. It looks considerably more modern than ALX400 or Plaxton President.

[@dillonryan6892]

this is one of the most extraordinary buses that i have ever seen in my life

[@hellooohowareudoing]

I laughed at the other bus driver doing exercises! very amusing lol

[@charliemartn]

Never seen someone so passionate about a bus lol

[@ratpoutine]

In Canada we have busses from 1995 still running

[@BusesinLondon345]

These buses were always my favourite to travel on and I can even remember when they were brand new on the 468 which had just passed to London Central at the time. Back then there were still AVLs and so many PVLs. They will be missed :-(

[@robertsoderstrom7550]

You said that you like long routes, Anton.

[@jackcooper384]

Great video Anton. This bus has got a new life around Oxford, I've seen it on school serivces in Abingdon. I believe it is with Walters Coaches which is based in Wheatley.

[@robbiemorrison7085]

I used to live in London until early 2006 when I was 5, I remember seeing these buses brand new! Probably have even been on this bus

[@transportadventuresofengla3973]

Bus company called Carousel had 1 from Go Ahead. We had LG02 KJE from Go-Ahead and I remember I sat in the “single seat” when I went to college on it in Buckinghamshire. Same livery as the one you’re showing too! Brings back some memories! 😩

Miss these old Volvo B7TL's, we had 2002 plaxton president bodied ones around 7 of them and a few ex London Volvos also plaxton president bodied with the dual doors. Sadly ours were withdrawn back in 2016 and been replaced with new enviro400 buses. We still have two left which were converted to half open top buses 🚍 I loved these and the Scania OmniCity double decker buses which we still have in service over here on the Isle of Wight 🙂

[@pipeqez911]

We still have a few of these early 2000s Wright Geminis knocking around in Dublin, few ALX400s too.

[@Kez_abi]

Clicked on this video coz one day at college we had a proper old bus had fully blue seats with indented yellow poles. Thaught this might be one of them but this seems newer. Like this video thanks

[@scottlad2768]

Really enjoyed this video of an older bus, top quality Anton! Some varieties of these buses are still around, however route 474 is losing theirs this Saturday. You should do more videos of older buses which may be gone in the near future

[@lt_20181]

We had East Lancs Vykings here in Harrow. They were amazing to ride, (well, I found them amazing) and it's a shame that they've left :(

[@jacoblaw1994]

It's the good old Wright Gemini 3 B9TL. I miss these buses

[@Ron_TTE]

It is still in service… on some school busses but your not guaranteed to get on one

Funny you should mention a Dulwich. I am a tram driver in Sydney, my route goes from Central Station to a place called Dulwich Hill.
