So that's the bus industry equivalent of Tesco doubling the price of tomatoes so that they can sell them at "half price" next week and the customer will be impressed.

It was on the 403/413 earlier so it might creep up on the 423
What are these 09 plate pulsars like? Are they a good ride, i still havent been on any?

2952 is probably the best out of all runcorns smooth hardly any rattles and not as loud as some

If anyone spots either 2675 (if it's still at Biekenhead) or 2952 today, could you please post what it's working?? Am after a shot of either!
Cheers!

2675 is on a 407/471/472 board. I rode it on a 407 journey this morning.

Cheers for that, caught a shot of it on the 407 heading up Laird Street http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/8539557988/in/photostream
Also, seems there was some event at LS for the hybrids as at least 10 were lined up at the back with "Cross River Hybrid" on their destination diaplay and a crowd of HV clad people in the yard.
