Sister 17027 was on the 52 alongside 16831.

Damn, i can't believe i missed it, been waiting for ages to see an alx400 on my route 52, and when it happens im a school -_-

Hi I like orange LED display on Dennis trident no 17032 there should be all like that I think. So you can see them better when there are going and they stand out better.

3 of the tridents Teesside are getting (10732/3/4) have LED displays - and theirs no point putting them on the majority of buses (bar the 54 plate alx300) since they'll be leaving soon and the replacements are going to have LED displays.

LEDs aren't always better than flipdots. As for fitting the LEDs to the remaining Tridents (and 22011-20/61-6), the cost wouldn't be justified - the South Shields examples received their LEDs from the withdrawn B10BLEs which were sold (or in 21156's case, still being used by Stagecoach) with the flipdots taken out of the MANs.

In other news, the latest repaint at Stockton depot appears to be 22015.

Are the 54 alx mans are leaving Stockton and mans with led display are coming yes or no and why is that


RE: Stagecoach North East - mbonwick - 13/06/2013 22:25

No. You can't give a reason when there isn't one.

Trident 17025 was out on the 52 today until 1400 before being replaced by 22660 off the 59 which was replaced by 22465. 16831 was also on the 52 and 16833 was on the 58. 16834 spent the entire day on the 35, while 16836 was on the second extra 36 working, the other being 17032.

Olympian 16839 replaced a broken down 22211 on the all day 59/61 board at 1630. It remained on there until 1905 when 22469 replaced it.
