This peak only route is usually worked by E200s but one return trip is booked for an Eclipse 2/B7RLE. So the one time one of only 2 Tridents left at Walsall (one 3-speed, one 4-speed Voith) works the trip and it’s the celebrity TWM heritage, it would be rude not to do it!
This is also the only instance of a Trident I have ever known to use the Expressway, so that too
I was quite clearly not the only one with this KZread idea since I was joined by @Liberator23, @westmidlandsbusspotter, @AventoTransportEnthusiast, @WarwickshireTransport and @MrBevan2000. *If you were there but I didn’t mention you, make yourselves known - most of you I met for the first time! *(Edit, also @Trident4544)
Expressway Maxout 00:00-04:19 (window shut after 01:36)
Kickdown at 04:31, 04:35, 04:41, 05:39, 07:01, 07:19 and 10:40
This bus was working Route X15: Birmingham, Tesco Express (Stop CS1) - Sutton Coldfield, Gracechurch Centre (Stop SG) via Aston Expressway, Erdington, Wylde Green, Walmley and Reddicap Heath

Good job capturing this iconic bus, this is very reminiscent of the 3-speed Y-TOH Tridents that used to run on the X70 around 8 years ago. There is quite a charm about these 3-speed voiths, they are one of the best sounding buses around imo.

Thank you! I only just found an old video of 4176 doing X70 in 2018 yesterday - I didn’t even know about those workings until then! I was doing my first Birmingham bashes that year, I wish I knew about it at the time!!! And I agree with you about the 3-speeders, they tend to be beefier and bassier than the newer 4-speeders. Hence why I made sure to do Metroline TPL264 again at Lowish Floor Running Day last week, although I wish I clocked 4-speed TP417 before I ended the day as I’d have liked that too!
Nice to meet you!
