20263 'Y263 KNB' now in blue livery, saw it on the A34 overpass yesterday, so is either back in use or about to be put in service again.

Also saw a 'PO51' Trident passing Wellhead Lane this afternoon on trade plates with VOR in windscreen, rubbed down ready for repaint. Can't remember which though!

Thanks for those updates John.

20263 was repanelled a while back so good to see it has been repainted.

Had the trident still got the top deck front window panelled over, dual doors and a damaged lower dash out of interest?

Thanks :)

No Problem  :)

No, the Trident had a upper front window, I don't think it was dual doored but can not be certain

That must have been repaired then. I am thinking it may be heading up to Preston to be repainted as they are due 6 tridents including this and yourbus and the wessex president.

It was done ages ago mate. Still spends mosts its time on the 002 though, with some venturing onto the 4H.

I see Diamond decided to introduce the 34 today, saw one earlier on Bradford Street.

Nice to see Diamond putting notices up in Solihull about the Stand change for the 30 - although the driver I asked last week told me incorrectly!

A few months now, possibly since Dec/Jan?

Since the summer for both I think. Or late Autum at the earliest, but not as late as this winter.
