Rode 2985 on 352 Lates and the brakes need sorting on it... sound extremely rough.. it also struggled turning corners and took the roundabout in Orrell Extremely Badly...didnt appear to be drivers fault either dont know if this was related... but ive got to say the driver was quite good although ran around 5 late.

SLT, I don't mean to sound offensive in any way but, what you're saying about some of our Pulsars is absolute crap. I've had 2985 twice over the last week - once all the way through to Wigan from St Helens and then again from Billinge into St Helens. The shortest of those two journey's being 25 minutes with a stint down the East Lancs. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that vehicle on either occasion, I found it quite a delight in fact.

I get that you don't like the Pulsars but when you're just posting unjustified rubbish, it becomes tiring.

Also, I noted Cadet 2494 (CX54 DKL) back out in service for the first time today since its engine work (can anyone confirm whether or not it actually received a new/refurbished engine?) on 33/33As. Engine sounding much better with the back end clean (almost!) for once and a complete lack of that rancid black smoke it had been pumping out. Didn't get a chance to ride it but the suspension still sounded to be slamming down at the back.

I agree with your opinion on 2985, I have had this several times recently and have not noticed any problems with it whatsoever.
