Ex First Open Topper W905 VLN Moves On

On 8th June we reported on the First Eastern Counties arrivals at Ensign during May and one of them was partial open topper Dennis Trident 32905 W905 VLN. (Ensign Arrivals In May)

Ensign initially bought it hopefully to sell on to another operator but June's Ensign report states it as being disposed of to PVS of Barnsley which specialises in the dismantling of redundant buses and the exporting of engine units. So sadly it looks as though its end has come.



It was the first Cabriolet to operate the Great Yarmouth seafront service and was replaced by a former First Glasgow vehicle this year. It was taken out of service due to its age rather than its condition.

My thanks to Ross Newman for his monthly report and to Will Drake for his photo of the Trident's final departure from Caister Road on 26th May.
