We used to get them on our school bus which was run by Stotts the driver said the slow one only had a 3-litre engine because London is very flat so the fuel pump was set to limit the amound of fuel getting into the engine which is why they are so slow.

It that is an unusual engine on a trident, the usual Cummins 6CT is 8.3 litres, even Volvo B6's have bigger engines (Volvo D6A 5.5L) No wonder it's slow.

Sometimes they'd put an ex-UK North Volvo Olympian on our school bus instead of a Trident and was definitely much faster the driver said it was a 22 litre engine so it was very powerful
