Seat capacity is more in these new Enviro 200 MMCs - at 43 (41 in the Enviro 300).

Length wise they are the same at 11.8m.

Why did they remove the 300 model and combine it with the 200?

In my mind, the longer versions are still the 300 and I've made the mistake of calling them that on here a few times.

It's like getting rid of the 400 and calling that a 200 too.

The various numbers gave the different types and identity.

There is a photo on Facebook of Dennis Trident/ALX300 18125 (YN04 KGK) at Walkergate Depot.

Apparently it is here for spare parts for the Open Top tridents.

Don’t think they were TWOC. The 32 came first as a Sunday
only Sunderland Busways service, then operated daily on a revised route.  Then 31 was introduced with 31 & 32 both being
jointly operated by Busways and Northern. 
This was all before Busways took over TWOC.  The 32 was withdrawn and the 31 later became
a Favourite service.  The revised route
via Royal Hospital was in May 2001, the last change before the service was
killed off entirely.
