Correct. That Gemini is at least another 2 weeks away from arriving HK.

This batch making landfall in HK should be those came through Heysham in the 2nd half of May (5 seen in mid-May and 8 in late ...

You are right, 13 AVBWUs were shipped by MORNING LISA.
This is the sixth batch of AVBWUs, there are around 40 AVBWUs in Hong Kong all together. 4 (only) have been registered.

40 already? I was trying to work out how many have come through so far and not counting those which certainly have  not arrived yet, 25 got through Heysham during weekends, so the rest must have come through during weekdays. In fact, if your number is right, the 9 I spotted on Sunday should complete the first batch of 60 (and a correction, it should be 19 AVBWUs, not 20, transitted through Heysham during June).

ATE24: Yes, they are closed in August for summer holiday every year.

題外問：近年中東附近索馬里海盜猖獗，d船係照行蘇伊士運河
定係兜好望角？如果英國黎香港兜好望角要用多幾多時間？

批船到香港前係會停吉布提港, 即行蘇伊士及紅海, 行好望角就唔會26日由英國到香港啦

其實九巴為何不考慮把底盤運去俾五州蟲裝呢? 成本低一大截,減輕加價既壓力!

據本人所知，五洲龍目前只與Alexander Dennis車廠簽訂裝嵌合同

比恒通裝囉，恒通擁有裝過百部＂Wright＂既經驗！

The news from others and my observation:

1st batch:1 (3~4?/1 arrived HK) (代查) - Not spotted
2nd batch:1 (21/3 arrived HK) (MORNING CHARLOTTE) - Spotted at Heysham 21/2

4th batch:9 (1/6 arrived HK) (ASIAN CAPTAIN) - 2 spotted at Heysham 25/4, another 4 on 3/5
5th batch:9 (14/6 arrived HK) (TORTUGAS) - 5 spotted at Heysham 16/5
6th batch:13 (28/6 arrived HK) (MORNING LISA) - 8 spotted at Heysham 30/58 q9 A7 r- T: p0 a) B+ ]" c5 V

That makes sense. Basically it ties up with that has been observed in Heysham (See red text in quote).

On top of that, those still to arrive are observed at Heysham to be:

6 on 13/6 (+ Citybus' B9TL)
4 on 19/6
9 on 27/6

These 19 completed the first batch of 60 completely. No wonder Wrightbus is start building Gemini 2 DLs for Arriva London now. Assuming the 2nd batch is not due, I assume no more will be coming through until Autumn.
