| Creative Master Northcord Limited is proud to release the latest livery on its well-known casting - the Alexander ALX400-bodied Dennis Trident. This is ukbus 1032 carrying Brighton & Hove colours. This model represents Brighton & Hove 881 (T669 KPU). When Stagecoach sold its Lewes area operations to Brighton & Hove in September 2005 seven Tridents with Alexander ALX400 bodywork were among the fleet taken over and repainted into Brighton & Hove livery. These Tridents had originally been in the Stagecoach London fleet but were transferred to Stagecoach South who converted them to single door. Brighton & Hove 881 (T669 KPU) was numerically the first of the acquired Tridents. This model replicates this conversion accurately by showing the painted window pillars either side of where the London-specification centre door had been replaced by a single window. Now repainted in the generic BH3 livery, 881 carries Brighton & Hove's innovative and eye-catching advertising, aimed at encouraging car drivers to take the bus, that is applied to non route-branded buses. On its offside 881 carries John Lees' "I'm on the bus" statement, and it carries the "Annual Bus Travel" rear advert showing the comparative costs of annual car travel compared with annual bus travel on Brighton & Hove's bus services. For details of all current "I'm on the bus" adverts, recently featuring members of B & H staff as well as passengers, please refer to Brighton & Hove's own website : here The replica features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine cover and engine detail. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model has no unnecessary metal poles to hold it together. The brand new model of Brighton & Hove 881 is based on a Limited Edition of 1300 pieces produced. |
