Having been a firm Leyland and Scania user, Newport changed direction by taking delivery of a batch of 6 Tridents (no's. 35-40) at the start of the new millennium. However, these weren't the first Dennis buses at Newport as some 50 years earlier Newport ran a handful of Dennis Lancet and Falcon single deckers.

 

In 2011, the Tridents undertook a major refurbishment programme and were the first buses in the fleet to receive the smart revised green double deck livery, giving them a new lease of life. Unfortunately no.38 was destroyed by fire as a result of an arson attack at the depot in December 2012.
