They're actually Hydrogen powered, so in essence they don't even have an engine!

With Green Lane getting more Pulsars recently for 6/7s what has happened to their allocation of Volvo B10BLEs?

Think one of them has gone to Southport to replace 2725 which was written off after a head on collision.

one was still on 6/7 start of the week,new batch of pulsars are never all on 6/7 together
with older ones used as well,mainly 100% pulsar operated,much better

2716-2719 are pretty dire internally and badly need P&P'd, if you were Southport you would turn them down and ask for 2720.

I had heard that Southport's replacement for 2725, if indeed it is a Renown, will be sourced from St Helens.

Yes, that was mentioned on here recently wasn't it, maybe a change of plan, we will soon find out.

2729 was the mentioned Renown from St Helens who can ill-afford to loose full size vehicles.


RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot - Raawwwrrr! - 07/03/2014 16:57

None of the Green Lane renown's are leaving, only pulsars and two V reg darts.

2720 was on the 6/7 today.

Nothing will leave st helens any time soon i think as they are running short on buses themselves.
