[Trident 4609]

Saw 4556 on the 256/7 today, has it had an accident on the rear, seem to have filler applied & a rough paint job on the rear right hand side?

Not that I am aware of. Will have a look next time I see it :) 1683 was on the afternoon peak 59 today absolutely rammed to the brim! There was a B6 on the morning peak 59 like usual.

One for BN, 5417 sounded like the Rad Fan (assuming it has one) was going round the engine this morning, right racket!!

I rode it 2 times, on the morning the engine sounded rough but around 6 this evening the speakers were making an annoying noise too

4311 seems to be back at Wolverhampton.  It is on the 255 today and will operate the 1230 from Merry Hill to Wolverhampton.  The question is if any more of this batch are transferring from YW back to WN.

1676 to be scrapped with a bent chassis

530 is now at WN as a parts donor

Logic would say 4310 is also there, unless it is just 1 trident transferring as it could be a replacement for 4003.

Do you mean 4007? Or has another one expired

[trident4370]

I'm pretty sure I heard that 4003 had been involved in a crash with another bus, may be wrong. I had forgotten about 4007 though, 4310 and 4311 would make perfect replacements.

[mranon]

wasnt it 4003 and 1676 that "fought" a couple of weeks ago by wn bus station?

[Ashley]

Yes it was 1676 and 4003 in the collision, 1676 was repaired but then they found it had a chassis damage

4310 is coming back as well

[Trident 4609]

Did anything fill the gap for 4007 when it was withdrawn. Will be interesting to see if 4312 comes back aswell

[Ashley]

4007 didn't get a replacement, but WN have enough vehicles

Not sure that information about 1676 is correct, can BN confirm one way or another?

I have found my not-so-good photo of 4003 after its accident and uploaded it to Flickr
