Arriva North West - Southport Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
Actually I would imagine there is some form of reliability issue with the Renowns on the 300, because the PVR is rarely if ever covered entirely by the type despite the fact Southport have more than enough allocated. The Commander is a regular performer and it is common to see Darts, Pulsars and the two Interurban Enviro200s on there as well. The Renowns aren't hugely common on the town services either from my experience - they do appear but there is generally one or two Renowns unavailable at any one time from the way allocations seem to fall.

I would agree with Michael that Pulsars are a potential improvement. The Renowns aren't the worst buses around but they do suffer from a lack of legroom in places and their seats aren't as well equipped for the relatively long distance trip as the Pulsars' Civics are.
