It is seen here descending Haws Hill, Carnforth, approaching Carnforth Railway Station, thus returning to one of its former hunting grounds, during the Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust's Morecambe Rally & Running Day, on 19/05/2024.

New to Travel West Midlands(4571), in 03/2004, this scruffy Trident is seen here on Whitechapel, Liverpool, on a glorious 06/09/2023. Apparently Grey Line have/had a base at Higher Walton, near Warrington, and acquired this Trident from Bus Works, Birmingham, who acted as a dealer, about two weeks prior to when this photo was taken. It is operating Service 2SFG Sandycroft, Deeside, Wales, via Ellesmere Port, on behalf of the 2 Sisters Food Group. I believe the Trident and the bus have since passed to Howards Travel Group - Omega Busways, Warrington, along with the contract. © Peter Steel 2023.
