Had a ride on 4026 today -it is indeed quite nippy but has a strange swaying motion from side to side. Also a bit odd to see an old liveried decker back in normal service in Birkenhead again.

2409 was in LS yesterday morning, not sure why though.
Myllennium 2453 is back, over the pits and has has it's wheels resprayed/changed over?

That's one thing I thought about in my head funnily enough. When we were in Queensway Tunnel I picked on was we seemed to always go onto the bumps alerting we were to close to the other side, I thought it may had been the driver getting used to a different vehicle but that's really the only time I noticed that sway of motion tbf, time will tell !

That is rare. Should be more often.

Didn't notice which one but one of the new Pulsars was on the 418, seen it in Bromborough earlier this afternoon.

Talking of pulsars on the 418, does anyone know why the older, (in need of a refurb!) X reg buses seem to end up on this route midweek, but on the 118/119, brand new Pulsars take over?

Is anything due to replace the X reg vehicles?

There are more new pulsars available on a sunday for the 118/19 and other routes
due to a lower PVR on the 410
