I'm almost certain there was a Renown on the 10A yesterday too at some point.

711 still on 89's - was on the 1615 from St Helens. Bad allocation on any day but on a Friday afternoon when the schools are in is terrible. Friday's for some reason appear to be the busiest weekday in St Helens.

Maybe understandable on a quiet Wednesday evening in the summer holidays, but as you've said its terrible at this time on a Friday afternoon.

That would have been 2716, mentioned earlier in the thread.

Yet again Pulsars are out on Liverpools tonight with 2976 on the 10 and 2967 on the 10A

A couple of late boards leave the garage at night, one at 1900 (10A) and 2100 (10), not sure if there are anymore, possibly at 2000 (10). This would explain why pulsars are getting out on lates.

If they are that short of Enviros at that time i would much rather see the DLP's sent out with them still being Deckers and good reliable Buses as well

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I'm sure the majority of the time Pulsars are capable at nights so makes no sense to send a 13 year old double decker out.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
As someone who lives on the 10A route i remember very well before the Deckers arrived you would get very busy trips at night, Adding onto that i dont see the big deal with the age of a Bus, they are in good condition and are reliable and thats all that should matter
