If we went by logic, it'd be KVN - 3138 is KVO, as far as I know! These orders aren't logically-numbered, though.

One of the 09 pulsars was on the X1,too far away to see

So the spare for the X1, wasn't even on the X1 even though an 09 was on it. Only Runcorn!

With Runcorn's unreliability record, I don't think that they could afford to keep a brand-new bus out of service all day, just in case something on one service breaks down. At least the one on the 110 wasn't a branded example, though - and at least the bus on the X1 wasn't a Cadet! Laugh

3137s reg will be MX12 KVM as KVN isn't issued.

If you were after a new Pulsar 2, you should have just waited 30 minutes for the next one...! Simple, really.

It was 2951 which I saw on the 1400 ex Liverpool One. 3136 was on the 1330 and 3138 on the 1430. Couldn't wait for the 1500 so do not know the fourth bus on the route at lunchtime today. Also saw 2953 on the 79C, reported earlier, and 2940 was in Chester on the X30. In all I saw more Pulsars than Cadets in Liverpool and Chester - a sign of the times.

2951 was on the 79C by 6:45 as it was my bus home, 100% certain of that so it must have been taken off for 3137 perhaps at some point.
