English: The second (of two) batches of the Volvo B7TL / Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini 1 fleet of buses operated by Lothian Buses. A total of 75 were delivered from October 2006 to February 2007, with 56 registrations (SN56 Axx). Fleet numbering began at 751, continuing the series begun on the first batch. They were delivered in Harlequin livery, with all but 32 wearing route branding - introducing the Spades suit in the Playing Card theme, and the Penicuick CityLink scheme. During the transition to Classic livery, which saw all previous schemes being either replaced with new ones or be discontinued, only the Penicuick CityLink (except 801) buses emerged with a new branding - Pen-Y-Cog, although this has since been removed as well, meaning all the buses now wear the plain version of the Classic livery. One exception is No. 811, which has been repainted from Pen-Y-Cog into a special allover red livery.

811 as the Poppy Bus[edit]
Instead of having its Pen-Y-Cog branding removed to turn it into a plain Classic bus, No. 811 (SN56 AGO) instead received a special allover red livery for the 2014 Rememberance Day/World War I centenary, see - Lothian Buses: special liveries
