I saw three Pulsars around 2pm on it.

Indeed, there has been quite a few unbranded hybrids out today, caught 4532 on the 464 as well as unbranded 4526 on the 437 earlier.

4422 was one of two on the 411. What a great bus - smooth, fast and nice-sounding! Shame that it doesn't seem to be one destined for Bootle!

Lol i went out after i posted that, & seen a couple of Pulsars on the 423 myself.

4000 broke down on 409 near Liscard Road towards Liscard, passengers had to get on an already cramped Hybrid on the 433.

Lots of un-happy old-dears.

4050 (S250 JUA) Has passed to Winsford depot and was noted on the 1 Northwich today, It has replaced 3330.

4421 just spotted heading towards Liverpool on a 2 at New Ferry just a few minutes ago.

Yes, I saw that too! Meanwhile...3123 Was on a 432/433/437 Diagram whilst 4001 Was on a 410.

Now that all 33 of the new Volvo Hybrids have been delivered could someone clarify for me the use of this large number. The main routes are the 432/33 and 437 but they presumably need no more than the 23 which was the number of Enviros delivered some 5 years ago. And I think there has been a reduction in frequency on those routes within the last five years so 33 seems an awfully high number. Are they destined for all Cross-River routes including the 407 and 464? Or where?

Anyone in the know?
