From what I'm told, the ones for Burton/Leicester are for the 9/9A, the ones at Cannock are for Pye Greens, the ones at Telford are for 481 so what are the ones at Oswestry for?

Oswestry have two main routes, the 70 to Shrewsbury and the 2 group to Wrexham. The 70 received four new 'long' Versas 3696-99 last year so I think the new Pulsars will be for the 2 replacing the 4 ex North West DAFs 2737/40-2 and Darts 2378-9 which have been the regulars on this route for many years.

I'd give up Joe. You'll never win!

[arrivaaston]

Maybe the 04 plate cadets and the 2 55 plate darts will go shrewsbury or stafford?

[Bob]

Hey I never said they were crap buses, theyre not. Just a bit underpowered lol
