There are two spares, also branded for the Angel, these are given the fleet numbers 3962 and 3965. They are Volvo B7TL chassied Gemini 1s. They were recently fitted with free Wi-Fi like the B5HL examples and re-registered to private plates. I don't know these off the top of my head but I will find them out. I think 3965s is 570 GUP?

I too miss the Ex-London Presidents, fine machines! So much character to them, in my opinion.

I welcomed some Presidents running on such a frequent service as the 21. I rode one back from Newcastle to my guest house in Gateshead on the Saturday night. Indeed, I deliberately stayed in Gateshead rather than Durham that week in 2012 so that I would be surrounded by Go North East buses! My first bus there was an ex-London President, I believe on route X21 though.
