She carries the two-tone blue version of corporate livery for the network of services that cover Swansea University's campuses. However, with few students currently receiving face to face education, the Swansea-based Geminis have been regular performers on Service X6 (Ystradgynlais-Ystalyfera-Pontardawe-Clydach-Morriston-Swansea) for the last nine months or so.

🌟 Hey Gorgeous Souls! 🌟
I'm beyond proud to share that Mama just dropped FOUR new hairstyles in ONE weekend! 💫 This one is extra special because it’s part of my Zodiac series! ♊️
Let me introduce you to Gemini – she changes her mind all the time, so I'm bringing in the streaks! 👑 A little goth cute for my fabulous Geminis, and of course, she comes with a fierce skeleton hair clip. 💀
And don't worry, I didn't forget my big-chested beauties – this one's for you too! 😘
Run over to @TresChic and grab her now! 💨
Description Project Gemini was NASA's second human spaceflight program, with ten manned flights occurring between 1965 and 1966.
Similar in design to the Mercury capsule but much larger, the new Gemini spacecraft was designed to carry two astronauts into Earth orbit to test long-duration flight, rendezvous and docking and other technologies needed for journeys to the moon.

I always thought Gemini 2s suited the no. 1 well, and I would've been happy for either these or B9TLs to replace the VWLs. Unfortunately WrightBus messed with their winning formula and spawned the Gemini 3 , which--lets' be honest--is a bit hideous.
There were three of these out today. Hopefully these workings become a regular occurrence, and perhaps the route will even see a B9TL again.

Go North East Volvo Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 6071.NK62FAA with TEN branding in Newcastle upon Tyne on the 23rd May 2016.
Unflown Gemini-MOL-B Spacecraft #2411. Designed for the Air Force's Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) surveillance program (cancelled in 1969).
Wright Gemini 2 bodied Volvo B5LH 13166 was new as First Manchester 39212, becoming Go North West 3006. It has become the first of the new-to-First B5LHs to have been dipped in TfGM yellow and also features internal retrim and refit.
First Cymru is on its way to having the largest double-deck fleet in South Wales with the arrival of a further trio of Wright Eclipse Gemini-bodied Volvo B7TLs, taking the number of B7TLs and B9TLs to 28.
The latest - 37671 and 37673, with a third to follow - have been sourced from First West Yorkshire and incorporate high-backed seating, though are being allocated to Swansea Ravenhill depot for city services.
Whilst they have lost their LEEDS fleetnames, they retain prominent upper screen vinyls for contactless payments and large rear vinyls extoling the virtues of antibiotics to Leeds residents.
This February 2020 view is of 37673 on St Helen's Road in Swansea when operating Service 8 (Bay Campus-Fabian Way Park & Ride-City Centre-Singleton Campus).
With the introduction of an expanded Lizard network which now serves St. Ives from Helston, as well as being part of the Adventure by Bus network for tourist buses to various parts of Devon and Cornwall.
Aside from the Optare Solo SRs and East Lancs Myllennium Lolynes that have been part of the Lizard since 2018/2019, 2021 saw Wright Eclipse Geminis also becoming part of the Lizard network being repainted initially into base two-tone light green livery.
37002/37008/37045/37153/37181 are the Geminis that are in the process or have received Lizard branding and at present, the Geminis have been found operating on the hourly U4 between Penzance and Falmouth via Helston.
37002 was amongst the first to receive Lizard branding which feature wave motifs instead of small triangles splitting the two-tone green. Personally, this livery is much more pleasing than the Optare Solo SRs and East Lancs Myllennium Lolynes.
Wright Eclipse Gemini 37002 (WX55 VHL) waits at Falmouth, Killigrew Street on U4 to Penzance via Helston.
Gemini is the third astrological sign in the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this sign between about May 21 to June 21. Gemini is represented by the twins, Castor and Pollux, known as the Dioscuri in Greek mythology. It is known as a positive, mutable sign.
~ (Castor and Pollux (or Polydeuces) are twin half-brothers in Greek and Roman mythology, known together as the Dioscuri or Dioskouroi.)

EYMS Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini YX55DHJ (702) seen as it ambles through the splendid Wolds village of Sledmere whilst operating the TuTh 11:40 ex Driffield round trip on service 135.
The history of Sledmere is intertwined with the Sykes baronetcy who constructed Sledmere House in 1751 and continue to inhabit the property. The village has an estate feel to it, with cottages constructed for workers dominating property in the settlement. There are a number of memorials in Sledmere - most notably to the Wold Wagoners Reserve raised by Mark Sykes from the local population during WW1 - however the structure in the picture is simply a bandstand to my knowledge.
Bridlington depot operate the two TuTh journeys on the 135 alongside service 134 as part of a duty wedged between Driffield School work. 702 was new to Pocklington depot in 2005 for service X46 and operated there until transfer to Brid in early 2013. At the time the depot's only Gemini with service 510 in mind, it is currently used in a general pool of deckers which are mainly confined to school work and local services.
Lothian Buses' most recent purchases are 25 Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TL for service 22 between Ocean Terminal and the Gyle Centre. Seen here is 456 - SJ66LPX approching journies end at the Gyle centre.

The crew practiced docking with the Agena unmanned docking craft, and Gordon also performed two spacewalks during the mission.
