看最尾一張相才知道原來前Stagecoach in Warwickshire的#16076也來了Ensignbus。

I saw this bus only a few weeks ago, during the Ensign depot tour. The Olympian that was taken along by the fire was formerly Dublin Bus RV375 (97-D-375).

From what I gather, the fire could have a much more devastating consequence - the bus was initially parked up by the shed, in which a significant number of their collection of heritage vehicles where stored. It was said that the bus was switched off for half an hour to try cooling it down, but the batteries overheated and caught fire. Failing the start the bus and move it away, the staff ended up pushing the burning vehicle to the middle of the yard. Pretty brave action I would say.

So although they have lost the Gemini, but Ensign is due to receive 6 B5LHs pretty soon anyway, so it is hardly a big lost bar the fact that the Gemini HEV was actually a very rare vehicle, with just 3 built).
