Thought the engine had died at Victoria Park in Widnes it was that quiet in idle, wasn't bad either under acceleration

Its better on a pulsar than a pulsar 2, the black headlight surround clashes with the blue too much

I didn't know any Pulsar 2s were in the new standard livery?

Arriva are using the blue the use for sapphire buses. If you look at one of Bolton's Sapphire Pulsar 2's, the front end would be the same as a Pulsar 2 in the new livery.

I thought I had seen one but couldn't find it on Flickr
