Now you know the summer season has started. Every year in the summer we need a few more buses and Oxford, where this Brooks Bus normally operates for all the students needs less, so we borrow a few of them. Handy arrangement but some visitors get a little confused, is it a Stagecoach bus? Yes it is. All our tickets can be used on these blue and white buses. Board with confidence. They are used on the 12, 12A, 12C, X45 and X46 routes. Enjoy.

ya, no presidents this year :( just three more tridents...
I've always wondered what they were all about.
Problem with Torbay is that it's so fiddly, otherwise Stagecoach might decide to get tri axle deckers to increase capacity. Not sure how PBS will deal with the additional length so I guess it's blue and white buses for now :)
the tri-axels were with us until erlier this year. But were only really used on the X46 last summer. They're now up Swindon beign used. One is in a very nice Haven holiday park all over ad now.
Anyway, it's better to put reliable low floor tridents on than unreliable high floor leyland olympians in my opinion. Besides, I couldn't see the olympians operatign anything other than the X46.
It says "It's for everybody" What's their problem?
@ nathan thorn
Tridents??
Reliable??
Are you kidding, being sarcastic or what??
We have over 30 Tridents around where I live of both body types.
If you are waiting for one it will usually be best to walk towards the previous stop on the route, where you will find it sitting in the bus stop with its hazards on.
The Leylands we had we hugely more reliable and could cope with any route they were put on. The Tridents can't cope with the routes they were allocated to, since hills are present on those routes.
ALX bodied Tridents have been very successful. In use all over Torbay and the rest of the country, and the main backbone of greater london transport (although now being phased out by enviros). Their single deck equivalent, ALX300 bodied Darts, have also done very well indeed.
They wouldn't have been so successful if they were unreliable. In fact, I'm yet to witness a Trident break down in Torquay.
It depends on the operator. Stagecoach look after their buses.. First do not.
Also there aren't that many steep gradients on the 12 route in Torbay. Newton Abbot to Torquay, there are no noteable hills at all.
