359 and 362 are further DAFs to have arrived - 359 on 31 July and 362 in early August (certainly by 9th). 355-360 have now been registered L100-600BTS - like the Tridents using personalised plates, albeit from 1993/4 rather than the 1987/8 series for the Tridents! 361-363 will presumably gain L700-900BTS with 354 as yet unregistered.
