713 on 32/32A today - these are usually all Pulsars on a Sunday.

Is St Helens short of Pulsars at the moment only I noticed Solo SR 716 tracking on 17 on Saturday which is mainly Pulsar operated now?

Probably just Arriva not knowing how to allocate again...... or they just wanted a smaller vehicle on it for once

More inaccurate speculation...

Arriva don't allocate vehicles "for a change", they use whatever's available for service.

A service can't be cancelled because they don't have enough Pulsars, or whatever type is used on it.

Indeed, Arriva allocate whatever vehicles are available for the service, not because certain type is available, the only time Arriva won't allocate buses to a route, are deckers on a service that has low bridge on the route [or deckers on a diversion route, that has a low bridge on the route].

Well, are low bridges a problem on the 17?
