    AV178 was written off too. Fire damage.

    What about the DTs? Is the seating capacity the same as an AV/AX? I've never been on one.

    I'd be shocked if the Tridents are still in service as they were only taken on as a trial order before the ALX 400 took off big time.

    They are all in service in Harristown.

    Yep, still in Harristown. Have seen DT8 and DT9 recently. DT9 was also fire damaged a few years ago but was repaired, the entire rear of the bus was repaired and it's quite noticeable too.
