Saw a green bus president go through Heath Town towards W'ton this morning. Learning Boxing Day duties on 28E/82 possibly?

Which type of Trident? 101-105 or 111-113? (can't be 108 or 112 as they're on the 50)

Pretty sure it was one of the 101-105 tridents. It had quite a few staff onboard

It's not very difficult to tell them apart... 101-105 have tinted black windows, the massive logo, different rear etc, 111-113 look more like NXWM's B7 Presidents & have the small logo

Yes sorry i'm not 100% but it was a 10*. Its just how you put that across "Its not hard to tell them apart" it might be easy for you but i don't see any green buses so i couldn't tell the difference between the two although the only thing that makes me say its 101-105 was the seats and seat moquette

Sorry if i snapped in my last message

Nathan, don't start one of your moral debates again. If you want to say something do it over PM.

i'm not. Plus i just posted something and you were the one starting it!

Anyway as you said lets not argue on a Public forum.

I wonder if seeing this President means that routes like the 28E will operate with Presidents.

Now Now ladies, keep it civil...

Most likely was route learning, speaking of odd green bus sightings, I saw a Spectra at Maypole last week parked up in the 50 bay, but it drove off NIS as if it was going to Redditch (down the bypass)...

Can't wait to see what they allocate to the 208! :-D

That's probably why TGB are loaning buses of Central Buses, I would think they may be loaning smaller Darts/E200's as TGB don't have any of their own

They do have 1 dart, S519 TCF

But isn't the timetable designed to interwork with the 82 and 545 (and after 545 the 229). If so a bigger bus would make more sense especially if it was promoted by Centro and the operators as a direct Wolvo to Merry Hill (albeit half hour longer than the 255) link
