City Bus DENNIS Trident with Alexander ALX500 Body

Citybus is the second bus operator of DENNIS Trident. Bodies of the Tridents in the fleet are supplied by two body builders, Alexander and Duple Metsec. There are only 12 Alexander ALX500 bodied Tridents, the first one (2200), which is also a prototype, began service on 18 December, 1997. The other 11 (2101-2111) joint the fleet in 1998.

The 11 Tridents of 'production' version, together with some 50 Tridents with Duple Metsec bodies, serve as 'Airport Coaches' under the name of 'Cityflyer'. Unlike those Duple Metsec Tridents, these Alexander Tridents were not painted with the 'Cityflyer' livery when new. However, 2101 and 2102 were re-painted with liveries of the 'Cityflyer' version in 1999. The others were painted with all-over advertisement of a local airline in 2000.

First day service of 2200 (HN 1822). The bus is a prototype of Trident and also the first one with Alexander ALX500 body in the fleet. (1997/12/18)

2102 (HN 3697) is the second Alexander Trident joint the fleet. This 2102, together with other Citybus prototype Tridents, served Route 969 in early days. (1997/12/27)
