- A final farewell to the beast of machines or known as Tridents with Lothian Buses.
Saturday 09th March 2019 after about 20 years in service serving our streets of Edinburgh, the final day for the last five tridents spent it working on Route 19.

They will be dearly missed 😭 They served Edinburgh well. Goodbye Lothian's Tridents (1999-2019). Also, great video, really emotional.
It’s just saddenin’ to see all the good ol’ tridents retire :(
eh not really, some are with marbill coaches as school buses now
Nooooooo😭😭😭😭, my favourite bus type!! Oh I miss their low floor bodywork in London. It's been 6 years now since I've been on one
Also one o’ me favourite buses
My favourite bus was the Leyland atlantian when I was a kid in Edinburgh going from ferry Rd to leith on the number 1 to the provident on junction st with my mum and gran.
All buses have a ‘life cycle’. For example most of the double decker buses used by Lothian today namely Wright Eclipse Gemini will likely be withdrawn in a few years and be replaced by newer buses.
Have you noticed modern/newer buses are being withdrawn earlier? The old Routemasters were the longest lasting buses ever so far. 6 decades. Couldn't it have been the same for the Plaxton President Dennis Tridents? Global Warming, Climate Change, Pollution! Screw you!
Ipswich buses have SN51 AXP (Former Lothian) and SN53 AVK also SN53 AVP Plaxton Pointer 2 ex Lothians.
I worked for the company that built this vehicle for 27 yrs Northern Counties/Plaxtons until it’s closure in 2005. The Company would have been 100 yrs old this year 2019
SN04AAU (Ex-666/628) is still living its life with us down at AVMT Buses.
i miss them I loved the engine buse bell and stoping sign everything I loved and now I miss them why
This was used on this is what I know of 19 25 44 22 and that’s it
I knew I should have taken photos of them when I had the chance a few weeks ago
You might catch them at the Seafield garage. They are being stored there until they have new owners.
Lothian have one trident in the heritage fleet. It will be running on vintage running day.
@@Lewis25. Yes, they have the old 572. Lothian said that there may possibly be another preserved in madder and white.
Was 1999 the date of the first unit with later units being younger, or all units were made in 1999?
The Tridents came in 4 batches, Batch 1 was built in 1998, Batch 2 was built in 2001, Batch 3 was built in 2002, Batch 4 was built in 2004.
@@EnchantGaming2003 just say it like you know it☺️👏👍
There were good buses. I especially liked the tartan seats. Are they keeping a few for open days?
I really hope they are
No, the only trident remaining in the fleet is 572, which has been preserved in the harlequin livery, with tartan seats. The rest are being sold.
698 is preserved
What happened to the plaxton pointers did they get withdrawn, scrapped
Oh yes. They were withdrawn in 2014.
