Whilst an occasional Pulsar is alright if there are absolutely no spare double deckers available (i.e. one can't be swapped off whatever route it's working due to its location at the time) I think a Cadet operating the 10/10A is really poor. They're far too small for a route that's been in need of double deckers for longer than I can remember

A total of 5 Pulsars have been on the 10/10A today as 2970, 2972 and 2700 have been on there too!
2700 did the last 10A of the night

Even allowing for one or two Enviro400s being off the road for checks et cetera there are plenty of spare Enviro400s to ensure a full 10/10A allocation

Fully agree, Whoever is in charge of allocating Buses needs sorting out as there was an Enviro on the 352/395 today as well... Am defo going to pester Arriva about the allocating as its a Disgrace.

This is an extra to help with carmel college students as that duty does the early 920 then it runs and starts at old swan to st helens on the 10 then goes onto the 312.

710 was on the 352/395 this morning, made a nice change to a Pulsar.

The Solo Sr's shouldn't leave SH other than to work the 312 there not fit for any route that is a "Interurban Route"

It must have been swapped at some point as it was on the 32's this afternoon
