I understand about what you mean. I'm just surprised that most (or even all) of them are being allocated onto the 53s - in the past, Bootle have had a habit of not putting new Pulsars on what they were bought for (the majority of the 09-plated examples were put onto the 52s before seeing use on the 55s and the 62s had plenty of 58-plated Pulsars on it when the 59-plated examples arrived). It sounds silly, but it's one of those silly errors that happen when sending buses out (probably not intentional). Obviously, a bus is just a bus. Pulsars are just classed as Pulsars these days; the 53s are just more services that have been "Pulsarised". I'm just glad to see that they're actually putting the new buses on there! Quality-wise, most of the new ones are 100% better than the others. And it's nice to see that Stagecoach's 53s seems to have their Enviro300s back on there now - bus-wise, the 53s are becoming "quality" services (more morning journeys towards Aintree are desired, though).
