They're quick and unlike our own Cadets, have no handbrake lock for the doors. They're perfect Dart replacements in terms of capacity also. But anyway, the last I heard, there were whispers that the Wythenshawe Pulsars may be for St Helens' receipt - anyone heard anything further to this or just idle gossip?

At the moment, from what I've heard, when the new Pulsar 2s arrive for the X1, the ex-Wythenshawe Pulsar 2s are going elsewhere - I was told that they could be going to St Helens, however it all depends on whether St Helens are sorted at the time (new buses might be there when the six Pulsar 2s are free).

Further to the ex-Wythenshawe Pulsar 2s leaving, when the MAN EcoCitys arrive at Runcorn, their original batch of Pulsar 2s were meant to be going elsewhere, too. Now, apparently, they're trying to send away some Cadets due to "horrendous reliability".

In my opinion, I think that only Cadets should leave Runcorn and go elsewhere to replace Darts. Runcorn should keep their Pulsar 2s for the 79C.
