Now that routes 39 and 40 have Enviro 400s, I wonder did the Tridents used to operate these routes? Admittedly others like routes 12 and 62 are currently Enviro 400, as is route 22 alongside single-deckers (potentially due to the Olympics).

The Tridents left for Manchester because they were being targetted by vadals on evening and Sunday runs. Today of course there's CCTV so that problem doesn't matter. The Tridents were shared between the 12 and 39/40 when they were in Newcastle, sharing with the B10BLEs.

Enviro400s are used on the following routes normally:
Walkergate
1
12
22
38
39/40
62/63

Slatyford
10/11 (shared with MAN ALX300s)
62/63
X87/X88 (X77/X78/X79 and X82 at peaks times as well)
