National Express Coventry Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urban II, 2162

Back at my favourite spot - the illuminated Gosford Street underpass (Coventry Ring Road/Ringway Whitefriars atop). I wonder how long these coloured lighting effects will remain in place after they fail or get damaged! NX Coventry 2162 Volvo B7RLE/Wright pauses at the stop here heading to the Rail Station and Finham on service 9.

 

Seems slightly weird that Wrightbus use the 'Eclipse' name for a single-decker body when their double deck product carries the same name?! Presumably the manufacturing process is similar and some of the parts used in construction are shared. Wrights tend to adopt different secondary names for their bodies when built on different chassis. 'Eclipse Gemini' on the Volvo B7TL chassis and so on.
