COVENTRY's "Y" registered "DENNIS TRIDENTS" !

[Coventry Transport Dude]

With half of Coventry's Dennis Tridents from the 4203 - 4224 batch now withdrawn (a couple due to fire damage !), this leaves just 11 of that particular batch left in service now (4209, 4210, 4211, 4212, 4217, 4218, 4219, 4220, 4221, 4222 & 4223), plus the two transfers as well (4144 & 4190).  Most of them must have been in the Garage today, as all i saw out on the road this afternoon were: 4211 (4), 4212 (16), 4217 (16), 4218 (4) and 4219 (18).  I did see 4190 in the yard at Wheatley Street, but it was being driven down and into the Garage by a Mechanic !  Withdrawn 4207 and burnt out 4203 are still standing outside in the yard, up at the Swanswell end of the Garage.

It's always nice to see any of these 17 year old Tridents out on the road (still earning their keep !) and if possible, to go for a trip on them as well while i've still got a chance to ??? (And taking plenty of photo's of them in the process !!!lol).

4144 is withdrawn at Miller Street

"Oh No", i didn't know about that one now being withdrawn ??? ("THANK YOU" Tony for letting me know, as i appreciate that !).

[paulb1973]

I've got 4209 as withdrawn also.  So just 4190/4210-12/17-23 I think left.

[Coventry Transport Dude]

I must admit Paul, that i haven't seen 4209 around for awhile now ?  Hopefully it's just in the Garage waiting to be repaired (or is currently in the process of being repaired ?), but you've certainly got me wondering about it now ???

Thanks "2206" for confirming what i'd now began to fear !!! (Sad to hear that yet another one "BITES THE DUST" !).

You missed 4212 on the 16 all day

[Coventry Transport Dude]

Had to go over to Birmingham and back twice today, so i was only in Coventry City Centre for just under an hour at most ?  Sadly i never got to see 4212 today and what makes not seeing it even worse is, that it was on my route as well !!! ("DAMN IT" !!!lol).  Thanks though Tony for letting me know about that one !!!!!

Just seen 4219 on the 16A to KERESLEY VILLAGE and it had a lovely little tribute to Armistice Day along the bottom of its Destination Display, which read: "THANK YOU 100".  I quickly took a couple of photo's of it, so hopefully one (or even both ?) will turn out OK ?lol.  (Seen quite a few Buses running 'round with this Armistice Day tribute on them, which i think is really nice and a very fitting and respectful thing for National Express to do !).

Saw 4217 out on the 16 route yesterday, so it's nice to see the old Tridents still running for whatever time they've got left on the road ?
