Why would that be @Tony?

Because it has been chosen to be next.

20 Scanias remain at YW

Please don't remove 1789 off Bustimes, Walsall will be looking at it to see if it is better than any of theirs before final withdrawal

It doesn't seem like Tridents will survive the next 2 months

How many does this leave YW with now?
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

12. We had 20 a month and a half ago.

11 now as 4611 has gone to WA

Tridentobt

Lovely. Does anyone know how many more will be transferred?

They need to keep some singles at YW due to the 27 route. Still remember that incident of a double being driven down Bournville Lane.

Only 11 left I'm still managing to get tridents over electrics!  :grin:

Not complaining however, Make the most of them while they are still around, even though they lack the comfort of the new electrics!

I believe that the bus was NIS going back to garage. But it's still shocking how that could happen, a clearly visible bridge with many height restriction warnings preceding it. Withdrew one of the best Tridents that YW had at the time for a stupid reason.

Noticed there's a picture of BU08EHZ in Buses magazine operating for Connextions still in heritage livery. As a a matter of interest what happened the other 3 of these buses
