NXWM 4634 Dennis Trident (ZF/€4) BX54XSB - re-engined and bad diff

I thought 4633 would top the strangest Trident I’ve rode, but 4634 has now taken the place for me! A long term recipient of a retrofitted Cummins ISB engine, I do think these take the place of the regular ISC quite well, especially when worn like this one. Based at Birmingham Central for its entire life since being new in January 2005, this was the last Trident/ALX400 for National Express, and being tachograph fitted has been a regular on Private Hires over the years. It received the crimson treatment in 2016, still looking smart to this day. Worth noting that 4634 was one of at least a dozen that went on loan to Walsall during summer 2020, to help aid the double decking of their local routes, and the trunk 4/H/M series to West Bromwich and beyond. 4634 is filmed here on route X12, one of the longest routes at NXWM. Normally being operated by Platinum E400MMCs, Tridents often appear for a few trips, normally down to the interworking with the X70, which causes issues when cancellations and delays occur. On this day 4634 had been operating the 60 during the morning, and I was lucky enough to watch it rock up on the X12 for the 0940 journey. This bus was serving route X12: Birmingham City Centre to Solihull Station Via: Aston Expressway, Bromford, Castle Bromwich, Chelmsley Wood Interchange, Birmingham International Station, Birmingham Airport, Elmdon JLR, Lode Heath and Solihull Town
