There were 2 Tridents on the 85 today; one was 814. Are the electrics no longer used?

@Eric Shaw 1002 is often out on the 85 but not sure where 1001 & 1003 have gone

Thanks Adam. It seems an inappropriate time to stop using them with National Express seeking funding for more of them

That one was ex Yourbus (4008). I wonder if the older examples on hire from NX are being replaced

@Winston
De Courceys NEC coach fleet was 101-113
So they probably have more Levantes from Yourbus from 114-122


FJ60EFY is 122 in the fleet

@James4368

It was originally just the twelve i.e. 101 - 112, looks that way by the fleetnumber for ex YB 4008.

Any idea if there's an increase in work? Or more likely just being acquired to update the fleet
