I saw a Trident being towed by an RS truck come from Stafford Street onto the ring road in Wolves earlier, anyone have an idea which one it was?

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

Neither were a breakdown, it was either 4343 or 4368 off to PN top yard.

4368 given all that treatment, new CCTV monitors, new lighting, anti-scratch technology, new display blinds, only to be shoved to PN's withdrawn section.

That was six and a half years ago, perhaps you might like to train to be a skilled craftsman who can change a rear axle on a trident, then it might survive

I don't get the whole point in buses having all this technology fitted when they are withdrawn a few years later, it just seems like a big waste of money...

The colour destination failed some time ago.
Any windows broken in the last 6/12 years will not have the anti scratch technology
The CCTV system can be removed and reused

It was there when I arrived at 13:25 and was still there when I left at 14:45.

I love Walsall buses
