I've seen a couple of examples of First's Streetdecks running the 72 service in Leeds and was wondering what the upper deck interior looks like. Is it akin to the Streetdecks running on the 36 route?

Are there any plans for the fleet to be used elsewhere? I've noticed a few Enviro 400s on there - are they between 49,16 and 72?

Gemini 3s are used on the 36 route in Leeds, not Streetdecks.
I assume their interiors will be to standard First spec.

The 36s are Gemini 3s not Streetdecks, Wright have a common body shell for both types.

They both look extremely similar. Either ways, that doesn't answer my question. Thank you for the input.

Upstairs interior is to bog-standard First specifications, they will be replacing the Streetcars on the 72. The 72 will be losing any special branding and will become just a regular route, certainly nothing like the 36. The 72 has been operated on Saturdays by Enviro 400s pinched from the 49 (if I remember correctly) for a while now which may explain why you've seen them there.

The Streetdecks should appear on other routes, not sure exactly which but I've certainly seen them out on the 49/50 already.

There will be some going to Bradford depôt to operate a revamped X6 service (every 10 mins. Bradford to Leeds) with a new livery?
Some to Bramley for the new 72 service.
Some to run on the local Leeds 42 service
