17448/9 and 17549 should also be turning up soon.
Don't expect great things from the 4 of them as they've been sat since the end of the Commonwealth Games.

Definitely 17591 as I saw it in the yard at Rock Ferry this Morning

They have never been reported at any Manchester depot (and I include Wigan in that). However, it might make sense that four "new" Tridents are to go to RF, as this would release Manchester's four (well, three now, lol) for preperation for either the MagicBus fleet, or for Wigan ops. Pulling all rumours together locally, I suspect the latter is more likely.

Maybe...anyway, 17591 was still there a little while ago so a shot was obtained! http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/15803772358/

The corner headlight panel does look cleaner/newer......

Wonders whether the disruption caused by the traffic problems on the M56 have resulted in the X8 being diverted down the A41 instead .

Seems that this is a major problem every Friday now .
