1:76 SCALE ALEXANDER ALX 400 DENNIS TRIDENT STAGECOACH IN CAMBRIDGE-UKBUS 1040 VEHICLE REG T679 KPU, FLEETNUMBER 17079 ON SERVICE 7 PAMPISFORD. MODELS ARE NEW BOXED IN MINT CONDITION. FULLY CERTIFIED LIMITED EDITION CMNL is proud to release one of the most popular liveries on its well-known casting – the Alexander ALX 400-bodied Dennis Trident. This is UK1040 carrying standard Stagecoach colours – but, unlike the other 14 ALX400 models already issued by CMNL in standard Stagecoach colours, this is the first example to have a dual-door layout. This model represents Stagecoach in Cambridge 17079 (T679 KPU). Stagecoach in Cambridge retains two former London Tridents with dual door configuration. Cascaded from Park & Ride duties these support the prestigious Cambridge citi network. Stagecoach East London took delivery of T679 KPU (as its TA 79) in April 1999 in which fleet it later became 17079 following the adoption of the Stagecoach national fleet number scheme. 17079 was cascaded to Cambridge to bring about the speedy introduction of low-floor buses on the high-profile Park and Ride routes. Unlike other early ex-Stagecoach London Tridents, converted to single door layout as seen on previous CMNL issues such as UK1024 and UK1032, the Cambridge buses retained their dual-door layout. 17079 gained the red-based livery denoting its use on the Madingley Road– Newmarket Road Park and Ride route. Following the replacement of the ex-London ALX400 Tridents with brand new Enviro 400 buses, 17079 stayed in Cambridge, repainted in standard Stagecoach livery, yet retaining dual-door layout. The replica features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine door and engine detail. 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 also has no unnecessary metal poles to hold it together. The brand new model of Stagecoach in Cambridge 17079 is based on a Limited Edition of 1000 pieces produced
