Aintree Coachline / Helms of Eastham

[YK53 GXO]

RE: Aintree Coachline / Helms of Eastham
Purchased is ex-London United (TA40225) Dennis Trident/ALX400 SN51 SZU. This will be given the fleet number of 134. This has been purchased as a part-exchange with EnsignBus for Scania YN03 DFA, which has now been withdrawn taken down to Ensign for sale.

Trident LK05 GGV has been given the fleet number of 133 and has seen regular use on the City-Rail-Link over the past week.

Aintree-based Trident V537 ESC has now been painted in full Aintree fleet livery.

Another ex-London Trident is due shortly, this will replace fellow Scania GB03 ACL, which similarly will go down to Ensign. Early next year, Scania's YN53 RYR and YN53 RYM will also be part-exchanged for Tridents of some description.

Dart OU04 FMV is currently VOR due to engine issues. I'm told it may be being sold to Avon Buses, Prenton shortly.
