First West of England 33144 Dennis Trident/Plaxton President LR02LWZ
Currently working from Hengrove depot are three Trident Presidents numbered 33144/158/182. They were originally loaned from Southampton for Rail Replacements in 2018, though remained at WoE for extra buses in the run up to Christmas. With capacity issues on some routes, and various other problems in the fleet as a whole, they have remained at work. Bristol has never had Plaxton Presidents, though there are also some open top versions at work with a private company. Pictured at Hengrove Park is 33144 still wearing the dwindling ‘Barbie 2’ livery with pride, as it heads for the depot on route 96. A rather hellfire machine this one, with a screaming turbo and plenty of kickdown, a shame I only rode it for a few mins up to the depot
