Pulsars I think you mean on the 130, Geminis are deckers.
Plus WY dont have an Geminis, just DLP's that are mainly for the TFGM Tendered Schools

I'd always assumed that it was GPS. It would avoid the vulnerabilities of a distance-based system to detours (e.g. if a road was blocked) or to an inaccurate initialisation of the starting point.

Anyone know for sure?
As far as im aware of its hooked up to the gps like the ticket machine.
Unbranded sapphire 2740 on the 130
Unbranded Sapphire 2741 on 263 today.
Passing Bus and Coach world at Blackburn this week I noticed another Enviro300 unbranded Sapphire parked up there along with 3 more waiting to be treated

This suggests that, unlike a previous suggestion, more than 3 Enviro300s will be refurbished to Sapphire standard.
Unbranded Sapphire 2741 on the 18 today, while a couple more Enviro300s along with a couple of 130-branded Sapphires on the 263.
