The T reg Dennis Trident II, bearing the fleet number 612 and later 17612, was formerly with Stagecoach Manchester between 1999 and 2021. It stands out in the museum's massive collection of more than 70 vehicles, many of which are from the 1960s and 70s with the oldest being a Manchester Carriage & Tramways Company horse bus from 1890.
Museum Volunteer Paul Nicholson said: "The museum made enquiries through people we know there, saying we needed a modern vehicle to represent changing times, and this was probably one of the best candidates because it’s significant and relatively easy to keep on the road.
“The younger generation will have grew up with this, it's 23 years old, so people will have gone to school on this, who have now left school in their adult life, they'll probably look at it as it's the bus I used to go to school on.”
The Alexander ALX400 bodied bus was collected from Stagecoach's Wigan depot and welcomed into the museum’s growing collection in early 2021. This was not it’s first visit to the museum as it was previously on display there during an accessible transport event in 1999 prior to entering revenue service.
The current livery on the bus is Stagecoach’s second version of its corporate livery that dates back to 2004. Mr Nicholson hopes to see 17612 eventually restored to its original stripes livery from 1999, a task that the museum intends to complete in the future.
Currently, the bus does not have an MOT and therefore cannot be used on the public roads. The museum is working to get it sorted so they can eventually deploy it on one of their free heritage routes where members of the public can board a rotating fleet of vintage buses for free rides around Manchester.
The most common route, Heritage Bus 5, takes passengers on a journey back in time from the museum to Shudehill Bus Interchange, calling at Queen’s Road Metrolink and Manchester Victoria along the way. The route typically operates twice a month and usually coincides with event days.
The museum was first opened to the public at its current Boyle Street location in May 1977, and is a former bus garage, complete with preserved offices and other transport related memorabilia. It is open to the public on Wednesdays, weekends and bank holidays except Christmas between 10am to 4.30pm.
Dennis Tridents have mostly disappeared from the streets of Greater Manchester since late 2021, save for a few that are still in service with private operators. They can usually be found on open top bus tours, school charters or railway replacement services.

Great memories with old buses. I really like british people preserve the old buses for memories and history at their own museum
Yes the culture here is very good, respects heritage
I like how British preserve the bus properly in the museum to have nostalgic memories, unlike SG
And thanks for sharing the preserved bus video 👍
There's also a Dennis Trident with the same body as SG's, and preserved in NZ, which is an ex-HK Citybus unit.
Yea I think I've seen someone's post on it
I remember this bus,it is one of my favourite or is it!?
Great video
Thanks!
It's nice to see a Dennis Trident preserved here for future generations to enjoy. Sadly the 20 unique units in our country is reduced to just scrap metal. 😢
Yeah it's very sad all 20 sg tridents were scrapped
They probably used the scrap metal to make new vehicles
I wonder where L888SBS also this brings memories with the DT of SBST. It was a good bus…
It's privately preserved
C1 Citaros and Volvo B7RLE Euro 3 are the ones for me that I grew up with. All gone now with the last First Volvo at GNW gone too.
Yeah , they were based just next door from the museum too.. I really liked those buses, seems like a few are in private hands now.
@@glitchFan2428 Alot went to MP travel but sites suggest that they have gone to a Bus dealer to be sold again.
@@Matt-di6nb ah MP travel, they have a really nice Optare Spectra
Im hoping that they will use this on one of their running days at some point
Turns out the UK’s one is older than the SG’s one but the bus entered service the same year where low entry dds entered service!
Yeah, Singapore's first low entry bus was I think SBS9888Y? Or SBS1688K
@@glitchFan2428 I think was the eabo iirc
I've got 3 ALX400's where I'm from , LX03BXN 17818, LX03BXL 17816 & LX53JYJ 17946
Nice showing two Alexander Dennis stagecoach buses and where did you flim this in the TV show or in the museum?
There's only one trident, this was filmed in the museum.
Does this bus go Ang mo kio braddel soon lee and in the east of Singapore including Jurong industrial services
no
We got one round my way now. 18071 (WA04 CSU).
Nice! 👍🏻
Is it true that the dennis tridents in sg were the first buses to have electriconic display and not the Scania K230UB?
I think so, either that or SBS9888Y
@@glitchFan2428 Btw do u have any videos of sbs9888y before it was burnt in 2010, maxson?
And last question how does your phone crop with so many video when I take bus video and less than 100 video my storage is full how is your storage not full
phones won't get full by just a 1 minute video
Who flim this video

So Maxson does interviews now?
Well this is the first, I might do more in the future 😁
Its nice seeing this but at same time I believe preservation of history shld not be limited to sg/uk's buses tho.
Many countries around the world preserve some of their buses, it's a normal thing but in sg they scrap them instead
@@glitchFan2428 oh ya its mostly the less affluent nations that dun such as malaysia/thailand
I know if 3 ALX 400s preserved in the north west this one Stagecoach 18139 and stagecoach 17012 white lady open top
That's great!
Cool to see UK dennis trident preserve not for Sg tho
Yes it's always nice to see historically significant buses being preserved!
Find the last leyland Olympian :)
