[Trident 4609]

4200 transferred to wolverhampton back end of oct beginin of Nov i believe and ive seen it on 529

Its not a transfer. Its on loan to cover increased PVR due to the Amazon services. 4201/2 are also here on loan. They are going back in the new year.

and have hardly been used

Is their any reasons why those ZF Tridents at WN all have gear problems, over revving etc, ive been on the 529 and most of them to put it in a polite way are F'd.

Can they not be fixed as it does not good for the gear box engine and uses so much fuel... @Tony sort it out please :D

I catch WN Tridents every day and i don't notice that....

4605 go on that, although most of them ive been on are out of tune, I never thought I say this buy those VOTIH ones at WN are quite good.

This is my video of 4545


Yeah, Most of them sound like this. 4590, 4603 and 4605's sound different.

Now, that is more like it, I wish all of them at WN get fixed like this! cant be that hard to do

[Squiz1971]

Personally I find the ZF Trident 2's at WN to have a great engine & gearbox sound have been on a few on the 126 many a time, like all buses they start to sound tired after so many years in service. I think it gives them character if they sound different to the norm and should be appreciated not whinged about because some sound different to others.

Off topic a bit but the BC ZF Trident 2's sound great as well, they have an engine/gearbox character of their own

[Tomf1993]

Did you mean 5401?

Yes he must have done. See my post in the Noteworthy Workings thread.

Also, both 62's today are LWB E200's, as opposed to 751/2.

i saw 5401 on 529 in Walsall today

I agree and I think WN have most of those tridents that stand out to the rest

Yeah 5401 I meant good bus, 126 was a waste of time too long and driver was bloody slow, two buses from behind over took it.
