Arriva the Shires and Essex provide local bus services across the northern Home Counties, Transport for London tendered routes and Green Line coach services with a fleet of 645 vehicles. Dennis Trident W432 XKX, fleet number 5432, entered service in 2000 on Service 38 between Luton and Dunstable, based at Aylesbury Depot. Service 38 was re-equipped with Scania L94 single decks in November 2005. Three Tridents, including 5432, moved to Aylesbury Depot for use on Service X15 from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes. Double deck operation was affected by the height restriction that applied because of a railway line between Aylesbury and Watford. Fitted with a Cummins C Series engine and Alexander ALX400 body, 5432 is a long wheelbase Trident with seats for 78 passengers – 31 in the lower saloon. The replica features excellent detailing, inside and out, including a tv monitor in the upper saloon, opening engine door and engine detail at the rear. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model has no unnecessary metal poles to hold it together. Collectors may wish to compare UK1037 with the 2003 release of sister bus 5429 The brand new UK1039 model is based on a Limited Edition of 1200 pieces produced.
