I've been told Birkenheads 2903-2906 and 2909 are heading to Wythenshaw this weekend in exchange for commanders also.

Just as well those commanders aren't 13 isn't it, as they are on 07 plates which makes them 14 years old.

Apart from the Enviro300s with the recent transfers will this make Wythenshawe a mainly Pulsar Depot?
Is there any plans for the Sapphire Enviro300s to be transferred out and replaced by Pulsars?

From what i have heard the plan is to removed all Cadets & Commanders from Greater Manchester due to emissions

Presume that would include any at Bolton as well?? I have the following still at BO & WY,
BO 2489, 2527, 2589, 2595, 2596
WY 2497, 2515, 2580, 2582, 2585, 2592

I will be interested to see what gets allocated to the 247 tomorrow morning. A Pulsar isn't suitable if you asked me and they've tried them on there and failed before.

What makes Pulsar's unsuitable for the 247?? I'm not from the Manchester area so not familiar with the route.....
Cheers

There’s a pulsar on there today. And they’ve been used before. What’s the issue? The wheelbase?
