The 375/85 has been running Pulsars packed to the rafters with standees suffering a horrendous long journey in poor conditions. Meanwhile the 43/6 or other single deck routes run a half empty double decker. It makes Arriva look fools. Branded stock running the wrong routes confuses people & 95% of the time is unavoidable. The ageing non DDA compliant 'School' deckers, a regular sight on local routes, leaving pushchair & wheelchair customers seething. I've written a letter to the company & will publish their response when it is received.

A 375/385-branded Volvo B7TL was on the 727 this afternoon...

(The driver was whom who took CX55 EAW [4107] to the Wirral Bus and Tram Show 2012.) I noticed three/four Pulsar 2s on the 375/385 today - where are the NEEDED double-deckers?

Ah I know the guy, Gordon. Nice fella , I remember him mentioning to me that 304? Was pretty sluggish so that must be the Pulsar, it's not too bad on flat but not one for hills!

I've been on 3045 since that journey and it's running normally now!
