Just seen Oswestry allocated Pulsar 2, 3791 FL63 DXZ is currently on the 4 in Telford.

3698 YJ12 PLO now the third of the V1170 in the latest fleet livery. Noted on Shrewsbury depots single input on the 19 afternoon round trip.

UID Pulsar on the 70 to Oswestry this morning.

3762 YJ61 FEP, on the 70/70A yesterday and today as I had it back both days. It finally entered use this week after a month off the road due to some substantial work required to bring it up to standard. 

The second V1170, 3694 FJ13 BJO is now in the new fleet livery and seen on the 436 today.

Today I had a ride on 3722 on the 1 into Walsall.  Quite a nice bus I must admit, there were no 'threadbare' seats and the interior was nice and clean.  It ran quite smoothly for a 14 year old vehicle.

I had 3726 yesterday on the 1 and was very tidy too. I notice 3844/5 have also had a retrim and look much improved too since I last need did it. 3841 however could do with a retrim.

4806 X502 GGO was pressed onto the 70 Oswestry to Shrewsbury for a round trip, 16:12 ex OS and 17:17 ex SY, this due to delays with the service due to flooding in Shrewsbury. It made a nice trip home after a little walk to get it from Frankwell.

HI

I think it is unlikey this year.  Discussions remain ongoing with the Council about all aspects of the P&R including image/livery.

Hi Simon, can you confirm if the longer Versas at Shrewsbury (3691-9) are all been repainted into the latest fleet livery? I ask with 3699 so far been seen in a freshly applied coat of paint and Cadet 2745 appearing at Shrewsbury depot.

UID Pulsar on the 19 spotted in Shrewsbury around 1230.

3780 on 19, had a quick spin on it.

3699 YJ12 PLN is the first of the 11.7M Versas to gain the new fleet livery. It's currently working on the 07:31 519 Shrewsbury to Newport service.

2512 from Telford via a weekend at Oswestry is operating here, noted on a 23 Monkmoor.

The increased P&R frequency on the Meole Brace is seeing the pimped up Versas, 2974/5/6 that were refurbished for route 1 Abbots Green been favoured so far. The 1 was all Solo today, 2500/2519 and 6010 (ouch!).

Arent the Solos required for the 2? Theres also a Centro in the new livery and a couple of Darts and hasnt Cannock gained an extra Pulsar?

3761 I believe was the extra Pulsar that was returned from Tamworth to Cannock with 2740 returning to Telford at the same time.

Cadet 2745 LF02 PLX was noted parked at the depot here, ticket machine fitted but a section of front grill removed. I don't believe it has seen service in Shrewsbury as yet.

Anyone heard anymore if a sale of Cannock is still on the cards? The newer fleetmoves out seem to suggest something's going on in the background

The reason for the Pulsars moving to Oswestry was to release Versas 2943/4 to Shrewsbury for increased Park & Ride requirements and increasing the allocation there by two. Oswestry I understand were offered more Scanias but insisted on Pulsars.
