According to Arriva North East drivers, they're slower than the Pulsar 2's-of all batches-and will only do 50-55 vs at least 60 on the Pulsar 2's.

They are only 'slower' because of the way operators set up the engine management systems. 'Will only do 50-55'? so what. There is no road on the 1 or two route with a speed limit above 40 mph. Again that is just down to what the company sets the speed limiter to, nothing to do with the bus. The at least '60' will no doubt be 62.5mph which is the maximum speed by law an bus speed limiter can be set at.

Yeah but the routes ANE are putting them on eg X1 aren't the same as the Cannock 1. They're fast interurban routes Timetables on the Darlington X1 are being altered to cater for the new streetlites ie greater running time as they won't achieve the same speeds as Pulsar 2's, according to drivers who have driven both.

2374 on the 55 today. Looks to be much healthier now, thankfully.

Additionally, has 2275 (FL52 MML) really been sold? I swear I only saw it the other day.

Just seen YJ59 BVH drive past - it's sounding very poorly, with it vibrating so loudly when accelerating, I thought I heard a motorbike drive past with it.

Does the 892 accept Nbus' if going from Wolverhampton to Telford?

Does the 892 accept Nbus' if going from Wolverhampton to Telford?

I would think only to the centro boundary

[Trident 4609]

Does the 892 accept Nbus' if going from Wolverhampton to Telford?

Only up to the West Midlands border which is just past Tettenhall

With the StreetLites arriving soon, is the 12 going to be a Sapphire route or just a standard route like always?

[Busman Jamie]

Streetlites for Telford are just standard, bit of a downgrade from citaros if you ask me

I know arriva midlands limit there vehicles at 60 mph, yes I cant understand why not do it at 62!

Streetlites 3310 3311 3312 to hit the road tomorrow on Gorge services

Citaro 3010 has gone back to Tamworth

Pulsar 3779 has returned to Telford

[derningtona]

3779 passed me on the 116 from Birmingham on the 18th. I suppose  that will have been one of its last Tamworth workings.

Is Muxton easy to get to from Telford Town Centre?

The brother & sister in law are planning to move from Pelsall to Telford, so it's nearer for the sis in laws work at Harper Adams, while the niece has to commute to Wolves Uni.(Muxton is the current favourite!)

Costwise, the bus wins out, but the journey from Wolves to Telford stop at teatime, so journey timewise, the train appears to be better but more expensive coupled with any bus out of Telford!

[the trainbasher]

If commuting by train and bus (using bus in Telford) over periods of a week/month or more a plusbus season coupled with a rail season might be worth it?

If commuting in the Centro area too then a network with telford extension possibly?

[Westy]

To be honest, as far as our side of the family is concerned, it would be just be the occasional day trip over there!

Both the sis in law & niece (only just!) drive, so they can get about fairly easily.

(You never know, the niece might move closer to Wolves & her uni friends!)

[arrivadays]

33 is a half hour journey from the Town Centre to Muxton.
