Just remembered, seen 7619 on the 14 earlier, another poor allocation really.

Had the pleasure of 3061 home on the 7 today. That is a nice bus. Rattles were to a minimum, and held an excellent turn of speed. Definitely one of the best Pulsars around, and puts most of the native Green Lane examples to shame.

On a separate note, a DAF ALX300 was on the 9. Only seen it from a distance, but it looked like 2410.

Green Lane had a 61 plate pulsar on 68 this afternoon, couldnt see which one unfortunately.

I believe it was 3064 with 7613 and 7670 joining in. 2237 was on the 8 in return, apparently.

Thanks, I was driving at the time so couldnt exactly have a proper look, funny enough it was at the bottom of Green Lane that I seen it as well.

Pulsar CX58 EUJ (2667) seemed to be having some speed issues this evening. It was running really slow (probably just a bit faster than the average walker) on West Derby Road. Pulsar 2 MX09 JHZ (2961) was at the changeover stop, out of service - might have been exchanged off the road!

Also, Marshall V657 DVU (7657) was on the 18. Plenty of 10-plated Pulsar 2s were on the 15, whilst the 14 was mainly in the hands of Pulsars and 09-plated Pulsar 2s. Something different!

2237 was definitely on the 8 tonight. I saw it about 1710 at Huyton Bus station

Cheers, much appreciated Smile 2215/7 were on the 9/8 respectively today, a generally regular sighting but still a sighting worth reporting.

Has 7672 on my 9 this morning, that's a nice bus. Excellent engine, and one of the fastest Marshalls around. Was let down badly by it's rear window though, which was rattling violently all the way. Compare it to 7629 I had in the evening, rattly, loud, vibrated in idle and it's gears slipped. Horrid thing.

i have noticed that with marshalls the back window rattles like mad on almost all the marshalls i ever been on
