A BLAST FROM THE PAST?

With its yellow roller blinds and old livery, that photo of 2227 could easily pass for being taken in 2001, rather than 2013.

Just a pity that LED'd Interurban Marshall Dart is behind it

Definitely a blast from the past, yeah - generally, it's rare to see a bus with manual destination equipment on the 52/52A!

For the THIRD time, Pulsar CX58 FZE (2923) lacks the capability to pull off of the line at a decent speed... I sampled it twice today and it was definitely "slow". There's examples like this which constantly change, speed-wise, and there's examples like Pulsar CX58 EXK (2918) which have been "slow" for over one whole year! Are drivers booking-off these problematic buses?

Could it be something to do with a lack of adblue in the buses? I know they say about "safe-mode" kicking in, just like with Lairds Enviro's all it might be something internal
