[Of note 11-12 tridents are due from Scotland to be prepped and painted at Bolton for Rusholme

Is that 11 or 12 tridents OR 11 & 12 registered tridents? Which of Scotland's fleet are they coming from?

I'm guessing these are the ones on loan from Glasgow to Aberdeen whilst some of their B9s are being refurbished into the new "Platinum" brand. These are due back next month. The tridents are a mix of V,W,X and Y reg Plaxton bodied ones.
I was travelling on P510 LND on Tuesday because it is the last Crusader Dart left in Oldham Service and it's body plate was marked Nov 96 meaning that particular bus in 17 years old in less than a week, truly great vehicles and will be missed. Amazing that they have been left in service for 17 years has anyone got a reason why it has been that long?

Oldham vehicles having a bit of a wander this week. B7 was on the 180 last night and on the 83 today. 58 had a variety of vehicles on the route with a Citaro and Enviro300 on the route. Also finally spotted the 13-plate Enviro400 (33788) today, operating on the 409.

It is certainly very old. Is it an ex-GM Buses vehicle? I know Oldham used to have some ex-GM Darts until the past few years, just wondering if they still had them.
