I always feel sad when a Bus I like leaves Eastbourne to start a new life elsewhere. This has happened for the second time this year the first being 19053 leaving for a new life in Hastings. It was confirmed today that former Triangle Bus Trident 18529 ( GX06 DYT ) has left Eastbourne to start a new life in Ashford Kent. This leaves sister 18530 ( GX06 DYU ) still in Eastbourne but is currently off the road because it is broken so no 06 plate Tridents at the moment in Eastbourne service the Tridents we have in service at present are the 54 plates and the recently Transferred 17529 ( LX51 FON ). It was only Tuesday that I saw GX06 DYT work the 99 so it got transferred not long ago.
The reason behind the Transfer was similar to the reason why 19053 ( MX56 FSC ) left Eastbourne for Hastings. It was because one of Ashfords Olympians got withdrawn not long ago and it was sent up there to replace it.
The photos I have put on this post were of it working the 51 and the 56 routes.
The first 3 photos are shots from February and March this year of it working the 51 service to Heathfield ( For Tunbridge Wells ) and Eastbourne's South Harbour

The next couple of photos are off 18529 working the 56 this was a really rare working done in January this year and I was very lucky to see it do the 56 and get some photos of it working the 56.

I would like to wish 18529 ( GX06 DYT ) a good future in Ashford same with 19053 ( MX56 FSC ) Eastbourne won't be the same without it.
