Ideal for 46/47 routes maybe?Their short length and resultant low capacity has been a problem. That’s why they left Bristol. FHD spent quite a time sorting these out as they weren’t in the best of nick on leaving Bath.

Understatement of the year. Much fettling was required. Most ex Bath stuff isn't in the best of nick in my experience.Their short length and resultant low capacity has been a problem.

The 46/47 Routes on School Days need Bigger Darts .Ideal for 46/47 routes maybe?
Quote of the week that, but pretty accurate. They have been improved by Hilsea, but still have the short Dart choppy riding problem, and are not a great passenger experience TBH.Didn’t want to be too harsh. I remember traveling on 44919 (I think) in 2014 and couldn’t believe how bad it was for a 5 year old machine, with the proverbial “shaking like a s**tting dog” when idling!
Think you may have a long wait if it’s the moquette that you hope will disappear altogether. I suspect that there’ll always be the requirement to cascade older deckers for schools from across the group.
so good to hear i am down in st ives for a week in June for the buses hope they are in service thenIt seems as if Buses of Somerset and Buses of Taunton are sending their Urbans elsewhere, and are wanting Darts and Solos instead..
Speaking of Somerset and Taunton, they don't have many president bodied tridents left, wouldn't blame 'em as most of the older batches of Tridents left around Devon & Cornwall will most likely go for scrap after the 1st of March, as if you look on the DVLA's records, most if not all of their tax ends on the day.
Cannot wait for our Scania E400 MMCs though! 19 of them! in the Kernow Green! On 18 Plates!
New buses look closeView attachment 43013View attachment 43014
Edit: They're either getting more than five single deckers or it's something else they're getting, as they replied to my message and oh boy I wanna know what's going on!
New buses look very nice and according to FK they’re ADLs not Scanias
I'm surprised to read these old Tridents have any chance of going to another company. I would have assumed they would all be for scrap!Guys, you better start taking more photos of the V---HBY, T---LLC, and T---KLF batches of trident, as after the 1st of march, you aren't going to see many more in service (they're all going elsewhere), and try to nab lots of nimbuses as they're replacing them with new single deckers (unknown model), The nimbuses are going up to Glasgow for either scrap or further use, and the tridents will most likely go for scrap or to Somerset or Essex.

We know they’re getting 20 new single deckers. E200mmcs is the belief in 8.9m length.
It was operating service 47. Seen at Redruth railway station at 14.30 bound for Camborne.Just saw 44920 heading towards or out of St. Day. Potentially on a 47 route but the blind wasn’t working properly. New buses look very nice and according to FK they’re ADLs not Scanias
