This brand new Plaxton President bodied Dennis Trident, PO51WNK, put in an appearance at SHOWBUS international 2001 at Duxford and was amongst the first new doubledeckers in the modern fleet.
|
 The following year PO51WNN, with its golden yellow livery, joined the Golden Jubilee display at SHOWBUS having operated a special X97 express to the event. It is seen alongside a similar machine of Brighton & Hove in a dedicated Golden Jubilee livery.

 Pete's Travel was acquired by Go-Ahead in 2006 and merged with their newly acquired Diamond to form Go-West Midlands. This was not as successful as some of their oher ventures outside the North East and it was sold on to Rotala who now trade as Diamond. The fleet of Plaxton Pointer 2 bodied Dennis Darts found new owners during these changes, a batch going to the Dunn family Your Bus operation in the East Midlands. This March 2010 view of KU52RYH in Nottingham shows it now numbered 1003 and being followed by a Nottingham Scania through the city centre. |
 On the same day 1002 (KU52RYF) is seen with the rear end of one of the city's many East Lancs bodied Scania deckers, 708 (YN05WFD). |
