This is one of two B5TL Gemini 3s in London, both are at GAL with Croydon (C) garage in the form of WVL509 and WVL510 (BF63HDE and BF63HDG).
WVL509 was originally an Arriva London North bus at Wood Green for route W3 and then later on 221, coded VGD1. It did its last trip with Arriva on the 19th May 2015, on route 221. However this one (WVL510) is ex-Metroline, having done its last trip with them on route 7, on the 25th March 2015.

These two buses are allocated to routes 119 and 127 however they frequently do route 403, sometimes 355, and very rarely do the flagship C route, the X26.

This bus had blinds bound for Heathrow Central however on its trip to West Croydon, it didn't have any so only around 8 people got on the bus, making it an amazing opportunity to film a journey!

Here is WVL510 (BF63 HDG), speeding from Heathrow Airport Central to Hatton Cross Station. This was filmed on the 21st December 2022.

Route X26: West Croydon - Heathrow Central (The longest TfL bus route!)
Allocation: Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 (WVL334-344)
Operated by GoAhead London: Metrobus; Croydon (C) garage
