I get it MM, thanks for that. But it makes me wonder, there are 48 pulsar types at St Helens how many are needed on an average day? Surely there can't be many lying around idle in the depot because one could be fooled into thinking there was double that number.
How many are needed for a full service on the 10/10A, 320 & the 352? Routes one most commonly they are seen them on.
I know those services are not all pulsar operated 100% of the time but the pulsar fleet must have very high utilization time's.
Just had a look and I have the allocation size for the 10, 10A, 352 and 395 as being around 39 which is almost always fully consisting of Pulsars as that is what's been booked for all of those routes since the Renowns finished operating the 352/395s on a permanent basis.

Are there any photos of 4206 ?
There is a pic on my flikr account, it is not a good pic due to being taken on my phone. There is also a pic of 4207 taken on Friday.

I seen a decker on the 32, left St Helens at 1650 this afternoon heading towards Four Acre Lane - didn't manage to get fleet number though.

If it is a Dla then it will be 4014, unless we have received another.
We only got 1 dla 4014,4207 made a morning out on the long 33 till about 11:00am.
Unusually DLA 4014 is still out operating 32 lates.
