Are Tridents not full size buses?

The B10Ms lasted longer than the Tridents at Nuneaton, I think.



Just re-done my website.  Check it out to see all my photos.  Updated almost every day!

Apologies, that was supposed to have read "Full size single deck buses", I was in a bit of a rush at the time of writing...

Leamington is now closed and Trident Park is open.
The new 48's will be numbered 26168-202 and the displaced E200s will go to Trident Pk, Rugby and Kettering depots.

And finally (last but DEFINITELY not least) Midland Red South is bidding for new X4s for next year.  This year's bid was turned down but the current 5-year-old batch are looking very tired, they feel it too.

Where do you get this info from?

And where is Trident Park? Coming from what I've heard, The new MMC sheds on order for the 48 will displace the MAN E200s (unfortunately😡) and they will end up in Rugby.

I'd guess that the MANs will stay at Nuneaton and the ex-48's will end up in Rugby.  Trident Park is the new Leamington Spa/Warwick depot.

Is it bigger? 
Does anyone know what the current status of Stratford depot is?  There was a tale that it would close when Trident Park opened.  I'd assumed that the transfer of several Stratford vehicles to Leamington earlier this year was the start of the closure process.

As far as I know, Stratford only has the 5 open toppers left but 17575 was at Northampton depot last weekend.

Wonder if they will move the sightseeing buses to a smaller  depot
