So when are LS gettin their buses back from Olympic duties?
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - CX54 DKD - 17/08/2012 22:05
Probably once the Paralympics finishes; there's a much bigger focus on single deck vehicles as opposed to double decks due to disabled access so they're probably still a requirement down there.

So once the new pulsars arrive at Laird Street after the Paralympics there can not be that many non pulsar single deck vehicles around probably just some cadets then .
Is one of the evening 118/119 still a regular double deck job as i noticed it at Bromborough Cross .

There's still a large number of Pointer 2, Marshall Capital and ALX200 Darts to name a few more. Then you've got all the ALX300s, Renowns, Mylleniums at Speke etc etc. So still quite a few in addition to the mentioned Cadets/Commanders.

The Pulsar is certainly the standard single decker at the moment!
Total in service
Arriva NW only, includes vehicles in preparation for the Paralympics: 268
Arriva NW and Arriva Buses Wales, including Paralympics: 307

On lates some drivers prefer to take a bus out of the depot so theyre not stuck with a shed all night, many go for enviros and pulsars because theyre newer and can be fast if you get a decent one. There is 1 (at least, may be more but not really checked) late 118/9 duty where the driver has to take a bus out and start at New Brighton so its up to the driver, but there wont be a specific evening 118/9 that an enviro is required for, just drivers keep taking them out is all!

I'm sure the driver gets what he's allocated as opposed to taking his pick of what he fancys
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - T42 PVM - 18/08/2012 19:22
If its like Bolton depot then its a bit more relaxed for lates, example is a driver who sometimes does the 356 lates swaps what he got for a Solo
