English: Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini (1) bodied Volvo B9TL buses operated by Lothian Buses. The company took delivery of 100 between August 2007 and August 2008, in two batches. These were the only double-decker type bought in this period for the standard fleet, although a batch of 10 Scania OmniCity's also arrived in September 2007 for the airport fleet. It was the second Wright/Volvo double-deck combination for Lothian, falling in between the earlier B7TL / Gemini 1 batches and later B9TL / Gemini 2 batches. Unlike the majority of those buses, none of this combination have worn any kind of route branding (barring some individual special schemes), being delivered in Harlequin livery, and later repainted in Classic livery.
