RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
The new livery ones tend to be on the 329/360 where and when possible as 2699 and 2964 i had on there for 2 days last week as 2699 is awfully slow.

I would assume that the Pulsars will be sorted out of limp mode come May '18 when the new MOT regs come out that state you can't have engine warning lights on the dashboard on a vehicle or else it's a major MOT fail!

Lets hope so as a lot of the pulsars and Enviro400 have the emissions lights on.

And I think the Solo SRs have Engine Mangement Lights on as well which Pulsars are in limp mode

I think I saw It before having just finished a 20 service so I think it might have been on one of those

Many Thanks. I found 2699 and 2964 on the 329 as you said and 2967 was on the 10A.

One thing I did notice today was a large number of Gemini 2DL's on the 10's and the enviro 400's on the 89. Is it now a case of a decker is a decker or is this quite rare??

I think its just that its a decker is a decker it happens all the time I was on a couple of 10As and 89s as I only have the Enviro 400s to go to complete the whole fleet.

I think its cause the Gemini 2DL's are not very reliable and if one breaks down they would rather it be a 10/10A as there are more of them so not missed as much.
If an 89 breaks down they get a lot of complaints so the Enviro400's are a lot more reliable.
