No, the bodywork is/was also available on the DAF/VDL DB250LF chassis, and latterly Wright's on Gemini 2 integral on chassis components supplied by VDL.

To have the Gemini body on a Trident chassis, it will only happen if there is a very major order coming up. In any case, Wright and ADL (or Dennis in the past) have not been in a close partnership for nearly 10 years - the last thing they built were some Darts.

Yes KMB is so far the only one. Will anyone else order it? God knows.

Thanks for your reply, however I am quite interest to know that if it is possible to install such gemini body on a trident?  because in HK, we only saw the tridents, build with e500, duple and alexander bodies. And I am not very sure about the uk bus industries. Regards.

Of course it is technically possible if ADL and Wright want to. But in real sense, it needs a very large - I mean to the hundreds - order to justify such a development. I simply don't think it will happen at all.

As I remember, There have some trident were fitted with East Lances and Plaxton Bodywork in UK in also...

But seems they are impossible to appear in Hong Kong.

East Lancs have 3axle body available on B9TL, but no one want to buy it...
