Wright StreetDeck: GAL Model

Hello. Recently, a B5TL Wrightbus StreetDeck (aka Gemini 3) entered service on route 12 from Camberwell garage. It has made one appearance on the 68 but no one has a picture of this. Metroline and Arriva are due to receive models like this soon, and full batches of these have been ordered for Routes 54 and 75 when they get taken over by Stagecoach and replace Metrobus SEL's (so sad) and for my favourite route the 7 to replace more SEL's (even sadder). The 7 is probably going to be withdrawn in 2018 once Crossrail is running so at the moment I'm feeling quite sad. It's not having your favourite bus types/bus route off the road. At the moment, SEL763 my favourite bus in London has not been in service for a while because it's been troublesome.
  Anyway, the StreetDeck has slim upper deck windows and has an almost black rear. Here are some pictures (about 6):

 The first time I tried to get V6, the bus was packed. The second time, I got on at the first stop in early January so I got one or two interior shots.


Thanks for reading/looking at the pictures in this post!!!!
