5001 has now been registered on an MX62 plate, unsure of the full plate, but all the same, it will be due out on driver familiarisation very soon, with a view to launch the vehicles late Feb/very early March, with them hopefully entering service on March 4th.

Oh Dear, Last time one of the X1 Pulsars went on the 79c a driver got a stern warning from management not to take them on there. Come back in with a slashed seat

One was on the 82A on Monday evening, although I was too far away from it to identify it!

Wrong, the likelihood is they been told they are having a cadet for example and they have took it upon themselves to take something else.

Currently one there, 5001. I had the pleasure of looking around it on Sunday and all in all its not too bad. However there are a few faults with the design it seems, notably the entrance seems wide enough only for a single se at buggy and the cab seems a little too big. Other than that, I like them!

Oh heck. Does that mean that they will have to fold up the buggy?

God forbid Childwall. Does my head in Low floor buses are designed for Wheelchair users not mums with big double prams which 9 times out of 10 are filled with the shopping while the kids walk next to the pram
