Oh dear! This could make tracking down a Streetlite on the Bank Holiday harder, if a Pulsar is subbed like this.

To be honest the Bank Holiday and Sunday timetable requires less buses than the weekday timetable so im surprised to hear of a Pulsar used on the 487

I managed to spot 6001/3 & 4 on 487s today. I think they should be used on other services as well so that passengers on other services can get to use them. Why just 1 route and maybe a 423 now and again. Sone routes I would be weary about putting a new vehicle on but thats what happens whrn uou run vehicles through areas where vandals and gangs hsng around.

Streetlites 6001 on route 2 to Liverpool just arrived at Ellesmere Port bus station just 4pm, that first I've seen Streetlites on route 2. Few passengers on board. Now gone to heading to Liverpool.

That's careless - hope nothing serious

Is this with vehicles or road humps .

I do know on the first day that Drake Road the humps were literally being taken at walking pace , the other side of Hinderton Road is the more forgiving speed cushions.

the speed humps along Breezehill are the worst, if you go faster than 5 in a car you scrape the floor. The 487 has used the road for about 3 years now though with little trouble. Main issue being parked cars around school finishing time. I believe the 487 only does the Ness gardens and neston circuit extension because they received the funding for that short lived route 23 contract operated by GHA.
