Anyone know what 2952 (MX09 LXY) is on

So that's the bus industry equivalent of Tesco doubling the price of tomatoes so that they can sell them at "half price" next week and the customer will be impressed.

haha love it - always the way

It was on the 403/413 earlier so it might creep up on the 423

What are these 09 plate pulsars like? Are they a good ride, i still havent been on any?

2952 is probably the best out of all runcorns smooth hardly any rattles and not as loud as some

I've found that they have sensitive gearboxes which make them fast off of the line and kick-down when the accelerator is touched - but, with the current Pulsar trend being that they tend to run "slow", there isn't much speed in some of them (although they still kick-down).

If anyone spots either 2675 (if it's still at Biekenhead) or 2952 today, could you please post what it's working?? Am after a shot of either!

Cheers!

2675 is on a 407/471/472 board. I rode it on a 407 journey this morning.

2953 on the 487

Cheers for that, caught a shot of it on the 407 heading up Laird Street http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/853...hotostream

Also, seems there was some event at LS for the hybrids as at least 10 were lined up at the back with "Cross River Hybrid" on their destination diaplay and a crowd of HV clad people in the yard.
