Hmmm - no mention of the Abellio Green TAs that have been pictured at Ensign over the last few weeks. The plot thickens!

Perhaps it depends on whether ownership has changed at that point? Ensign have certainly been advertising the green TAs in the trade press but they don't seem to be on their own website. |

I've had a look through the last couple of Bus & Coach Buyer. Interesting the Y plate Tridents are being advertised with Cummins ISC engines - did they realise they were sold knackered motors and re-engine them? 9733-35 were trash at the very end. V plates currently on sale. Think 9705 and 9718 were in ok condition! |

One thing I must say about 9735 is that the pullaway revvs on her appears to finally[1] be remapped as the then Connex batch were the only euro2 ZF variants within London operators not to get the remapp from their initiall soft pullaway factory settings. 9736 still has the original settings but performance makes up for it post-pullaway. 9735's remapped pullaway youtu.be/_sik4qKL8e89736's softer pullaway youtu.be/KjaEOv3cNrU[1] - up to seventeen years later, now reminising the ex-Firstbus London variants |

Alot of B7TLs and others (Including 6 ex EC VLAs & DW32) have gone for scrap with is sad to see Well that confirms why the numbers of ex N VLAs on the 123 has fallen to about 5-6. Probably not a surprise that B7TLs are heading to the scrap heap - the second hand market must be saturated with ex London vehicles plus some coming spare from other fleets. Given the non stop decline in UK bus routes and yet more cuts to tendered services there is no need for people to be buying second hand deckers any more except in penny numbers and even then they can pick the very best examples. The only small saving grace is that many have served a full London term of around 14-15 years and have probably been flogged to death in that time. |
