Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
I had Pulsar 2 MX09 EKY (2940) on the X30, between Warrington and Chester, today. I have to say that this bus is an absolute shed! Its engine sounds odd, it rattles like hell at times and it vibrates and makes a loud humming noise - similar to Bootle-based CX58 FZK (2928), but that shed does does it after gear one... - when travelling at high speeds.

Interestingly, passenger numbers didn't justify the need of a Pulsar 2 on my journey, but, needless to say, I've used this service many times in the past when numbers have justified the allocated Pulsar 2. The 79C is different because if a Cadet is full, there's only usually a 15-minute wait for the next bus, whereas if a full X30 refuses to pick-up passengers along the route, in most places, there would be no next bus for about an hour. I think that that's the point that trimax2000 is trying/has tried to make.
