How often are Pulsars allocated to 12/13 Stocksbridge Circulars? Seemed to be a fair few of them on there yesterday with only the odd DAF ALX300 and Plaxton Prestige seen.
Also it seems 12/13 & 15 are could be bunching together from this week as roadworks continue on Queens Drive, I've seen/read the following on Merseytravels website:
Phase 3B is a closure of Queens Drive (northbound), between Derby Lane and Mill Bank. This closure will come into effect from Sunday 22 July 2012, for approximately 1 week.
Traffic will operate via a contraflow on the southbound carriageway. There will also be temporary 4-way signals at the Mill Lane / Queens Drive and Derby Lane / Queens Drive junctions.
Routes 60, 62B, 81, 81A, 81E, 181 and 881 will follow the contraflow system and call at temporary stops located as near as possible to the existing stops.
Routes 12, 13 and 15 will be subject to delay due to lane restrictions in crossing Queens Drive.

i would say around 5 pulsars/pulsar 2's make it on the 12/13 daily (am a regular user of that route myself) ALX 300's , plaxton prestige 2402 and marshalls darts make the rest of the allocation mate

The closure at that area has already started, it is a major pain in the backside and I would advise everybody to avoid going that way if they can.

The 12/13 is an odd route as it can literally see anything in the depot turn up, the main allocation is the DAFs and Darts but Commanders and Volvo Renowns do make the odd appearance on there! Whatever spare Pulsars there are seem to get put on the likes of the 12/13/26/27.

Can anybody confirm that Pulsar CX58 EWO (2900) was on the 12/13 yesterday daytime, please?
RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - V671 DVU - 22/07/2012 13:35
Yep, 2900 was indeed on the 12/13 yesterday as I remember it was behind 2576 which I was on.

I seen it on the 15 in the evening (which means that the 10B and the 12/13 interwork with the 15 in the evening - confusing!), so I was wondering whether I had it on the 13 or the 15.

Sometimes they end on a 8E/9E/12E/13E/14E and will run into the depot, and be put back out again in the evening after running dead (such as the first 7A journey which runs dead to warrington using a bus taken from the depot) It's mainly to keep buses such as Marshalls and Plaxton pointer 2's off the late buses
