Gemini Blues - 3

The original style Wright Eclipse Gemini-bodied Volvo B7TL or B9TL is undoubtedly a modern day classic.

 

First Cymru's fleet has recently received a boost with the arrival of five B9TLs (plus seven Gemini 2-bodied B9TLs) from the West of England fleet, all of which have been allocated to Port Talbot depot to boost capacities on Services 38, 87, X1 and X5.

 

Three - 37605, 37606 and 37610 - carry a slightly faded version of First's three-tone blue and gold Interurban livery from their days at Wells depot for the Mendip Xplorer network, which seems to suit them well.

 

Representing the recent extension of Service X1 (Bridgend-Pyle-Margam-Port Talbot-Neath Port Talbot Hospital-Swansea) to and from Singleton Hospital and Swansea University's Singleton Campus, this September 2025 shot of 37610 was taken on Guildhall South Road, with the clock tower poking through the trees.
