Next batch of Pulsars

[tphi12000]

Theres only 2 iant there?  Would be sensible for them to join the others at burton

well it would but I would have thought  most will be leaving Burton when the Pulsars enter service.

Maybe burtons darts will go instead...

Look at that Bob, and not a mention of Tamworth. Music to your ears  ;)

[Bob]

Much needed at cannock though.  Wonder what theyll replace

[Bob]

Why would they be needing replacement?  3 have been refurbished.  Plus theres loads worse buses in the fleet, the 51plate darts have aabsolutely had it and need getting rid of

[Bob]

Yea but they wont be needed now will they with versas going there

[arrivadays]

Cadets among other things - I wouldn't say the Darts, because they're small, Pulsars are large - they don't really match, if that makes sense?

[Bob]

Yea but the darts are used on the pye greens/33s regularly and are too small for both. The only thing darts are any good for is poss the 2/2a (im referring to mpds)

[arrivadays]

Yes, but who's to be sure that Arriva will move the MPDs to other routes by the time the Pulsars arrive? I know the depots like to have a varying size of vehicles in their fleet, ranging from 8.8m Darts to 11m+ VDLs/Citaros, so that they have flexible allocation on all their routes.

[Bob]

What would they move them to at cannock? ?? Too small for lichfield stafford walsall (1) and wolves routes?

[arrivaaston]

It would appear that if cannock have new pulsars there only having 4 for the Pye Greens, as in January times are being changed so it runs every 15 minutes, 57 plates are ok for Pye Greens, why top of the range? Even better make it half hourly and throw a decker on as Bob has sed before

[Ashley]

I'm guessing this batch of Pulsars will replace B6's and the oldest Darts?
