Doubledeckers have not been a regular feature of Greenline services once the fleet of coach bodied ECW Olympians were relegated to bus work nearly twenty years ago. First Berkshire has heralded a new era of Greenline deckers with a small batch of Volvo B9TLs with Wright Eclipse Gemini complete with wifi, leather seats and tables for the London - Windsor, Legoland and Bracknell services.

The Eclipse singledecker had nicked the Greenline decker's pole position in the First line up, so the coach is seen being moved behind the First York entries to a prominent position for the many photographers keen to get their first picture of the new machines. This one has shortened fleet number GL4 (LK58EDF), its full number in the First Berkshire system is VNX37274.
