On the City Streets
First Cymru's recently acquired 10 Wright Eclipse Gemini 2-bodied Volvo B9TLs are now becoming a familar sight on the streets of Swansea. It seems that because there's been an absence of double-deckers for so many years, some people are intentionally going for a trip on them because of the panoramic views that they afford !
36211 was the last example from Leeds to enter service at Swansea Ravenhill depot, and she is one of five that now sport blue fronts and branding for "unibus" Service 8. In this 'quick, grab the camera' shot taken in early October 2017, she was passing along St Helen's Road with Optare Solo 53828, transferred from the Potteries fleet earlier this year, bringing up the rear.
