Fine machine that - drove it myself a good few times when it was still a Cambridge car, though 455 was the pick of the bunch.

Me!! B&H, 1999. In response to a comment on this pic, the badge is mine, issued to me by the DVLC when i passed my PSV test way back in 1983. I wore it regardless of which operator i worked for, even tho they are now no longer a legal requirement and i will never get rid of it!!

Smoking in the cab?! i also see you have your on the buses like badge on! very smart.
 
236, Imperial Arcade. And no - these have never seen service on the 56, the roads being far to small for such a big bus!! A comment on this foto says a Trident has been seen on the 56 - suprised it didnt lose its roof!

On the brightn and hove buses website there is a picture of a trident working on the 56 thats got to be the most amazing odd configuration! i wonder how it got throught the narrow streets of hollingbury?

I beleive it was a mistake on the drivers part as i think it was meant to be a 55 since it is a metro 5 trident and 55s used that road on a diversion round that time - to clear up any confusion. i also had a marshall dart pointer dart and SLF on there :)
 
I was the first BBB driver to take one of these out in service - what a come down from our Nationals! Top of Westdene. In response to a comment on this foto, it was common practice in Blue Bus days to change blinds at the top of Westdene, the Westdene end being worked as a large LOOP with the 'terminal' stand being halfway round, the top of Westdene being the start of the loop, the only time the blinds were not changed at this point was when terminating here and running light back to depot.

My reply to second comment - being as i no longer live in Brighton I have no idea if lights on when out of service is common practise.
