Not reported as yet is that the 59 plate Pulsars at TF and OS have had their gearboxes remapped to this ecolife rubbish. However they do scream up the A41 now more than before which makes me smile.

Is that why they seemed a lot nippier than the cannock ones previously?

Yes but Cannocks 61 plate were remapped a year or so back. The 63 plates are probably the best as they were set in a way that feels right from new.

Interesting this!

It's nothing to do with the gearbox and is actually a fuel-saving economy system and all vehicles are set the same, so there would be little if any difference between batches.  63-plates included.

Everyone always refers to gearboxes when you mention said technology. Granted there's no difference in set up. When I refer to a difference, I refer more to those spotter instincts how the older Pulsars felt to travel on before modification. Apologies for the errors in my original post.

Not at all, just wanted to clarify and your perceptions are interesting.

I think with my eyesight not being that great I tend to pick up on noises and the way something feels to travel on. But I'm also one of those hard to find midlanders who like Arriva. To put that into English in regard to the Pulsars, the 13/63 plates are rapid and responsive. The 59/61 plates are still great, but they don't have that sharpness the newer ones have but that isn't a negative towards fuel efficiency technology. They're still a welcome change every few weeks to a B7RLE Eclipse 2. As for the 57 plates, they just like to be heard but didn't these have something that made them more environmentally friendly, I did read an article at the time but I admit to having forgotten. Hopefully there's something meaningful from my ramblings. If not then I'll have an early night lol.
