I was told that most of the plug sockets were purposely not working. A 10A driver told me that people were using the plugs for hairdryers and stuff rather than just mobile phones so the plugs were disconnected.

Which is fair enough but they still advertise charging on the side of the buses so they shouldn't really be doing that when it doesn't work

Yeah but because of such things being used they switched directly to USB Charging only, of course a lot of passengers who use Laptops were disappointed by this but the ex Wrexham batch hardly anything on them works 4409 broke down in Wrexham yesterday on stand as well departed 40+ late.

They're decent buses but they've had their day, putting them on a fast route like the 51/X51 isn't exactly doing them any favours either tbh

Still an upgrade from the Pulsars

Funny how Sapphire claims 'at least every 20 minuts'
The X1 and 130 definitely arent!
