This is the first time that the incorrect route branding will have been used on Torpoint routes, 32761 carrying the new adverts for the X80/1. A 7 year track record of the correct livery isn't bad at all though! It is a shame that slowly and steadily the Olympian duties are dwindling, its quite frustrating when a Trident turns up in place of the usual Olympian on allocation! I'm not particularly looking forward to if/when these become full time members of the Torpoint fleet though! A fleet of VRs and 811s, replaced in 7ish years by Tridents and Darts! How dis-heartening!

Laurence,
Have the original pink Tridents ever been repainted or are they still on their original paintwork?
Graeme.
Hi Graeme,
Nope, none of them have been painted since they were new! A couple have different shades of pink where body panels have been replaced, but no, they've been in the same paint for 7 years now. Weirdly, the Varios actually got re-painted not that long before they were withdrawn. 40002 the only pink Dart has also been re-painted, but no, they haven't bothered with the Tridents!
Thought that was probably the case, thanks for the confirmation, Laurence.
