| Thanks zach for your feedback. When taken, it looked like 311 when i saw the bus. |
|
|

| Its the old Superlines branding underneath that 301 viynl. The B10B's however have a similar branding, but for the 311/312/313 which you can just make out on 1386. |

 Don't Lose your roof! Zzzzzz - Random Stuff |

| leave it like that, we need some open-toppers :D lol |
|
|

| How did it come to have the front intact but the back destroyed? Was it reversed under the bridge? |
|
|
|---|
| Apparntly the tridents are designed so if they go under a low bridge the front stays in tact and the roof seperates |

|
|
|---|
| I know that this happened on January 31st 2009, but if it was on the 139, a regular route for these buses, why did the roof rip off? I can only presume it was diverted? |
|
|
|---|
| The billboard just sums it up. Ironic really!. |
|
|
|---|
| What happened was the driver forgot to turn off the diversion to head onto Cradley Heath high street and so it ended up heading up under a low bridge. Its designed to make the windows at the front keep on but the rest is designed to be separate. |
|
|
|---|
| First of all, reply to Chris C, this bus is an ALX 400, not a dennis trident 2. Second, does anyone know whats happened to this bus. |
|
|
|---|
| What I mean by what happened to this bus is...
Has it been repaired & back in service. Or being repaired or has it been scraped ? |
|
|
|---|
| its bieng repared at Bristol |
|

| thirdly, there are quite a few open top tridents! |

 What is the point of a bus stand on the other side of the road?? On a One Way Road! Zzzzzz - Random Stuff |
|
|
|---|
| Well it is not a bus stop but a bus stand, so that is why its on the other side of the road. I'm pretty sure the words give it away thicko!! |
|
|
|---|
| Well, you can class it as what you want. But it clearly says BUS STAND! The difference between the two is that a stop is where passengers can board. and a stand is an allocated space for a bus to layover whilst not in service, therefore it does not need to be kerbside! So if next time you class a stand as a stop, go try and board the bus the same as u would as a stop and see the response you get from the driver! |

| This is the bus stand for the 88 |
