X437 HJA seen being towed up Manor Road, Liscard.

I've noticed LS' buses have had their Hanovers re-programmed. However, I noted 3 new Pulsars with no rear destinations working. Also 3009 DISPLAYS 'Not In Service' on the front and side but 005 on the rear. Oooops!

Is it just me, or does there seem to be reports of cadets being towed back regularly, with there seeming to be a least 2 every week.

Also noticed on buses with hanovers since being reprogrammed when displaying 118 to New Brighton, the rear says 188!

Also 3 new publicity destinations are added (however un marked on the destination code sheet) and are as follows-

Go on, Get on!
Crossriver Hybrid
We're eco-friendly

I did take some photos of a pulsar displaying them in Liverpool, however they where on my phone and didn't turn out too well so will take some proper ones in the week.

More like 2 a day which happened 1 day last week,they are regular failures,just wonder
how many they will get rid of after the hybrids arrive suspect more dross for GL

None as when the Hybrids are put into service the rest of the Enviro400s (apart from 4400/1) are leaving along with the ALX400s (S-JUAs) and the three Presidents, so all Cadets will survive this time round.

Are the 6 gemini's staying? Or are they leaving too?

The 21 Enviros, 8 original DLAs and 3 Tridents makes 32 departures for an influx of 33 buses, so assuming Birkenhead are short on spares, this will be all that goes. There is no chance a batch of Cadets will leave this time out without (similar sized) replacements of their own.

Theyre staying afaik, because theyre actually reliable :P

Is there a net increase of one vehicle or is a single decker going to slide out of the fleet somewhere .
