Farewell to Eastbournes Ex London Tridents part two 17529

 



Continuing from my last post on 17528/9 having their roofs chopped off to become open tops it is not those W regs Ex Magic Bus Tridents replacing them instead it is Enviro400 bodied Scanias replacing them the W regs were only going to be a for a short period of time until the Scanias transfer over.

 

 

17528 (LX51 FOM) featured in Part one and in this post similar 17529 (LX51 FON) is going to be the star of this post. I haven't been on 17529 as much as 17528. 17529 is the one that sounded nicer out of the pair however, was a lot slower than 17528.

 

 

17529s rare workings:

 

17529 has appeared on the 1/1A and is seen in the photo below on the 1 on a wet 2nd January 2016.

 Like 17528, 17529 has appeared on the normally Scania Enviro400 operated Wave 99 and is seen in the picture below on the 99.

 17529 has also been on the 54 and is seen below on the 54 on its First day of service in April 2015 and a few months later.

 There are also other routes 17529 has been on it has been on the Loop and the 55 as well.
Like 17528, 17529s main route was the 56 and the last few shots are of it on the 56 I will miss both of these Tridents and would like to wish them all the best with their new lives as open toppers. I will leave you with a few pictures of 17529 on the 56.
