Flashback Friday 689
A trident throwback has arrived. Every time I looked at the previous addition I thought I could seriously improve it so thought why not delete and reupload and in 48 hours it has been viewed as many times as in almost 8 years.
I loved the tridents, they were what I was brought up on and by the end had a certain level of nostalgia as you could just see them start to to dwindle yet still being some of the most comfortable buses ever to exist as the seats were top notch and never seemed to get bashed.
They spent time on almost every route in the city and had travelled across every part of the region in their 18 year span. Taking centre stage here is one of the four photos of Lothian Buses Transbus trident 689 that I own. I still remember this day at the Gyle Centre clearly as the sun had just come out at the start of the summer and was about to make my way down to Leith.
At the time I thought that a trident riding a service 21 was incredibly rare, however looking back I realised it was a rather common occurrence, yet there were many single decker's interjected across the route until I think 2019 when the route got fully upgraded to double decker status. So, here we see Lothian buses 689, riding a service 21 to the Royal Infirmary having literally just departed the terminus.
