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

[Coventry Transport Dude]

I'll certainly be sorry to see those old work horses go (the Tridents !), as the 17 years of seeing and travelling on them seems to have really flown by and i've just got so used to seeing them always running around !  Will seem very strange eventually, when all the Tridents here full stop, have all gone out of service ? (I wouldn't even like to guess when that time might be ???).

7 of them out today
4190; 4211; 4217; 4218; 4219; 4220; 4221

4190 - 4
4211 - 4
4217 - 16
4218 - 7
4220 - 16A
4221 - 6

I didn't see 4219 at all today Tony (during the time that i was in Town), so maybe it was taken off the road early for some reason ?

I saw 4211 in the queue of Buses slowly running down into Wheatley Street Garage early this evening and because its Destination Box was blank, i asked the Driver of it what route he'd been on and he said: 16/16A and also on the 771 as well.

A friend of mine said that 4218 was also out today on the 18 route, although i personally never saw it on the road today ?

I saw 4223 being towed through Pool Meadow Bus Station this morning, closely followed by 4219, also on tow !!!  Both Buses then headed up onto the Ring road, on their way over to Pensnett in the Black Country !  I was over at Miller Street Garage about 5 hours after i saw them and they definitely hadn't been taken over there ?  4144 and 4212 were the only Cov Buses at Miller Street today, plus 4407 as well, which i think was there to ferry some spares back to Coventry, as i saw some bits and pieces being put inside it ?

I managed to go for a trip out on these 6 Tridents today and only did so yet again, because any day now could be their last day in service and i'm just happy to make the most of 'em while i still can ?  4190 certainly didn't hang around when i got off it late this afternoon, as it just went off like a rocket up the Warwick Road and was gone before i knew it ???lol.
