3136/8/9/40 will all enter service tomorrow on the X1, any one who wants to get a few pictures there you go
3137 is still at the Wright factory as it can't be delivered due to it being on shutdown. It should be here in the next few days. All of them have the "Connextion" branding and branding for the X1. 2934-8 are returning to Wythenshawe (the source hasn't put 2939 down so I don't know if that's a genuine mistake or 2939 is staying for now)

Interesting to hear that the Pulsars are returning to WY! Wonder what'll be displaced... Thanks for the update Luke.
Not a problem! My bet would be some of the ever ageing R-CVU Darts which are getting on a bit now.

R310 CVU (2310) is rubbish, yeah - R313 CVU (2313) is alright, though. I'd rather have 2313 over many Marshalls!

No mistake, 5 new Pulsars, 7 Wythenshawe Pulsars to replace
Therefore 2939 and 2940 will be staying for now!
Find attached a picture of 3136 MX12 KWJ, taken through the fence at the depot gates (No I did not trespass, something I refuse to do under any circumstances, I'm one to make do with what I am able to get!)
Cheers for that Danny!
Them Pulsars do look very good indeed, that branding sits very well on the Pulsar bodywork and the Aquamarine paint. Interiors look nice on them as well, about time the X1 got the buses it deserves!
As I said on the yahoo group, Arriva haven't been stingy here and have done things properly, good on them I say. A sense of a fleet identity with the Connextion branding applied as well, those seats just finish it off for me!
Had a look at the new 110 timetable from the 29th onwards, and it seems that as well as some retiming, the Sunday service will be extended to Windmill Hill; I imagine that this follows the withdrawal of the Sunday X1 service.
