New World First Bus (NWFB) requested DENNIS Special Vehicles to design a special version of Trident bus for Route 15. The route runs through the bottom of the Mount Kellett Road Bridge which the statutory headroom clearence is 4 metres. DENNIS then designed the shortest version of 3-axle Trident with only 10.3-metre long, and the body is supplied by Duple Metsec with 4.17-metre tall.
NWFB allocated 3300-series as the fleet number for the buses. A suffix 'L' is also used to indicate that they are low-height buses. NWFB planned to put these buses mainly on Routes 15, 9 and other routes to replace the non-air conditioned buses in the fleet. All 40 buses of this kind have been in service in early-2000.

3301L (JH 6164) is the first 10.3-metre DENNIS Trident. Note the panel advertising promoting the bus type. Please also note that the width of the entrance is too narrow for a wheelchair to access. Therefore the wheelchair ramp is located at the exit. Here the bus was participating in the Bus Rally '1999. (1999/12/19) |
