By June 2006 Bournemouth's Centenary/Golden Jubilee bus had lost its gold paint scheme and was in a promotional livery.
It is seen in glorious weather at the Alton bus rally that year.

Following on from the East Lancs Volvo deckers, 2003 saw a small batch of three Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied examples accompany another three with East Lancs bodies. Whilst the East Lancs examples continued in the 400 series as 426-428 (HF03ODR-T) the Wrights became 180-182 (HF03ODU-W). This is the first, 180, seen in Eastbourne in May 2003.

The reason for the visit to Eastbourne was the occasion of that local undertaking's centenary, one year on from Bournemouth's own. Here 180 is displayed on the promenade with the other vehicle entries.
