I think your wrong about there being 5 pulsars on the 375/85 today. Which Pulsars were they?

7637 on Park & Ride today. 2 School deckers out on 49/A.

As for the Marshalls, come on Arriva get rid!

I arrived in Southport around 11:00 and the first 3 we saw were all Pulsars. I think the 14:11 off Southport was 4105 and we did 3083 on the 14:46. We passed another Pulsar and then did 3082 on what would have become the 15:46. I'm 99% certain we also saw 3043 on the Wigans too. from what I saw I think there were 5 Pulsars out on the Wigans..

Here's a link to my picture of 3309 on the #49A

we saw or rode on all vehicles on this route and these were 2292/3084/3085/3088/3309/7636/7652/7654/7673.

2722/2724/2728 were out on locals with 2 of these being out on the 42/44's and the other being out on 43/46's.

It's not like those two do a lot of mileage either. Johnsons have a better deal than that. It doesn't cost quite as much as you may be lead to believe.

Its the same as with RNW due to the amount of work they receive off arriva they will receive discounts.

Jackson Street have one although I believe it's as unreliable as some of the buses!

Its not just Arriva that outsource tow jobs to other companies I know for one that First Manchester use H&M Recovery of Bolton to tow their vehicles back to the relevant depots
