That's 3087 as far as I know, it was delivered like that. (Like Green Lane's 3067 was delivered without a white stripe on the front)

Pulsar 3038 is currently broken down at the bus stop just past Hugh Baird Southport bound.

Not seen 3311 working in southport over the summer holiday is anything wrong with it

3311 was supposed to be transferring to Rhyl as a replacement for 4159, last I heard it was in St Helens receiving remedial work.

It seems unlikely an Olympian would see use on anything other than school services or tourist routes in Wales, as it has been a low floor fleet for a while now. Other DAFs were also available (i.e. 4027, 4031, 4065 and 4076) to replace 4159 which has been off the road for months, but weren't taken on. As it is, I think 4091 was acquired from Aberystwyth within a matter of days after 4159's incident as its long-term replacement.

3311 left Jackson Street a while ago. Rumour was it left with fitters from Bolton whilst they were bringing loan buses down to be prepared for departure from the fleet but I can't confirm that, sorry.

4031 is in service at bolton mate

It must have been a small problem as, strangely, it was on the 375/385 today!

Hi all,
It's good to see the olympians enjoying a new lease of life in Southport but I wish some of the drivers would make full use of both destination blinds.

There were at least two 47/48 branded Pulsars out on local routes today, one on the 42/4 and one on the 49.

When are Southport expecting their Dart replacements? Will the Darts be totally eradicated?
