A tribute to Metrolines T&V Reg TPs By George

In 1999 Metroline Placed an order for 65 Plaxton President Bodied Tridents 9.9m for routes based at Holloway (HT) to help oust out the knackered Volvo Olympians, And these Tridents have served Holloway greatly for almost thirteen years.
13 years worth of hard work taking passengers mainly from the north of London and helping them get to places all over such as: Tottneham Court Rd,London bridge and Victoria there and back many times a day and  like many buses it has taken its toll even though they have been refurbished at some stage in their life they are starting to be a bunch of knackered Tridents and as the LEZ upgrade and 12 year old buses deadline nears. Its time for them to be displaced which has already and slowly started happening across this batch. Which is a shame as these buses were the first Presidents that Metroline ordered also these were the buses which dominated Metroline's early low floor purchases.But there was something special about these buses and their distinctive layout which could only be found on this batch of Tridents as demonstrated on TP13 Below

  1. If you don't remember this, your car may be stolen!

    Consider that your car was taken! When you approach the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN lookup"

    A VIN decoder is what?

    Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent"( manufacturing plant). You can also find out:

    1.Type of engine

    2.Model of a vehicle

    3.The DMV's limitations

    4.The number of drivers in this vehicle

    You will be able to locate the car, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be viewed in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person seated on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.

    What happens if the VIN is harmed on purpose?

    There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or calling the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles or spend two years in prison. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.

    Conclusion.

    The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
