English: The 51 registration (SN51 Axx) batch of the Dennis Trident / Plaxton President fleet of buses operated by Lothian Buses. A total of 30 were delivered from September to November 2001. Fleet numbering began at 601, missing out the numbers 599/600, with the X reg batch having ended at 598. Some of the buses spent some time in the guided bus fleet, receiving G-suffixes on the fleetnumbers. In 2008, No. 619 was scrapped after an accident on the busway. No.s 619/628/629/630 have been renumbered as a result of being at the end of a cascade of re-numberings triggered by the re-numbering of 04-reg Tridents (No.s 666 and 701-6) - see listing for full details. Twenty-five of the batch, 606 onwards, were for the standard fleet, being delivered in the original version of Harlequin livery, the last Tridents to do so. They were later repainted into the simplified version worn by later buses. With the exception of the original 619, these have lasted in service long enough to receive Classic livery, initially with 'Lothian Buses.com' fleetnames, later receiving the TfE style 'Lothian Buses' fleetname. The other five, 601-5, were for the airport fleet, delivered in Airlink livery. Having been cascaded to the main fleet, these have received simplified Harlequin livery.
