I assume it will be tomorrow before two extra Tridents are out to give PE the chance to give them the once over, re-programme destination equipment etc

Rode 4135 on the 17:05 from Dudley this afternoon.

It's still Euro 3, but feels much faster than it did before. It seems it received plenty of mechanical attention whilst away. I quite like it now, great sounding retarder as well.

The only thing abnormal I noticed (apart from the large fleetnumber in the cab) was a white box behind the stairs, next to the stopping sign. Looked a bit like a smoke alarm...

Think theyre air freshners a few buses have-BYs omnilinks had them when they were at BC.

The best air fresheners are opening windows in my opinion :)

Couldnt agree more but if thats all you relied on in tridents in south birmingham then you'd be a bit stuck ;)

I tried to take a picture of it but my camera wouldn't focus properly whilst the bus was moving

Here is the result anyway:

[John]

Yes that is an air freshener

[trident4370]

Lots of tridents have them!

[Trident 4609]

Yes looking at the photo now alot of tridents have them. Been wondering what they were for ages!
