Various forum members worked out that they had a bump with each other.

At the moment they can use either a B7 or a Trident on the 957 and on the 900 they'll only use Tridents :)

3 Tridents were filling on the 900/957 today 4315, 4429 & 4435

The rear of 4909 is still completely disassembled at YW. Must have been a fairly decent shunt.

I was right! They put a 957 branded on the 900 on tuesday! Seen it by pool meadow!

Nicely done! But in all seriousness, according to a friend at BC, it's the fastest and smoothest. All the things you need on the 900, and no jolting and quick doors. I've yet to have the pleasure of a ride yet, but I do strongly have faith my source.
