Maybe not, but I did see one there in the evening of 3.5.17 and rode one on route 423 too. conversely, on May Day Holiday 2016 route 423 had Pulsars.

I wonder where the MAX Pulsars will go? I rode one on route X51 on 4.5.17

I am not to sure myself but there is no plans to keep them as i know off hence why 2655 was painted in the corporate livery not the "Premium" style livery would not be surprised if they head to Merseyside to see off the remaining Renowns.

1000-1012 are due to start arriving at Wrexham next weekend

It isn't confirmed where the Winsford B7s displaced by the Sapphire Enviros are going yet, is it not a possibility they could go to Bangor to replace the Lowlanders? Bear in mind the reason they were transferred from Midlands in the first place was because Low Height stock was required, and the 4100 B7s are the oldest in the fleet that are low height, of course all London stock being full height.

4100 b7's are not really low height at 14ft 6

People used to complain about a single decker being too small for a morning peak and evening peak (which probably meant some people had to stand opposed to people getting left behind.) I know AstraZeneca has scaled back operations at Alderley Park so that might have reduced peak time loadings, together with the timetable revisions which make the bus less suitable for some commuters.

If just a few workings are overcapacity I personally think more buses should be considered for that certain time rather than double deckers.

Winsford have got a few B7s & they're only getting 3 enviro 400s.

This would be a good route for them. Mind you, I liked my refurbished Commander on it in 2014!
