According to my fleetlist, only 4 Olympians in use with Stagecoach SW, rest in reserve/disposal......interesting to see where the Tridents will go.

From another forum, they are to be 15881-15902.

There are 21 non-DDA Tridents with South West, so I'd imagine they'll go somewhere.

Did hear a rumour that some or all of the cascaded Tridents would replace some/all of remaining non-DDA Darts in Torquay.

RE: Stagecoach Devon
When I was in Barnstaple last week, and Plymouth the week before, I noticed how most buses in the area display Stagecoach South West rather than Stagecoach in Devon. This could point the way to some expansions in the area beyond Cook's in Somerset. There are not only the disjointed First operations in Somerset, Plymouth and Cornwall, but independents most famously Western Greyhound, and Webber Bus, Tally Ho Travel, Target Travel, Country Bus and Jackett's Coaches among others.

Stagecoach Devon are to start a new Gold route which will be competing with Firsts X80 route from 30th Sep. So it looks Stagecoach are going to try and do the same has what they did in Barnstaple but with a bit more class.

RE: Stagecoach Devon
Had a brief visit to Leyland this morning on a slight detour to Heaton Park for the Trans Lancs Rally, for the purpose of getting some shots of the Torquay bound Stagecoach Gold Scania/Enviro400, now branded up ready to be delivered to Devon soon.
