Slow acceleration, possibly due to Euro6 emission equipment, possibly due to still being tight and new.

Virtually identical to the 12-plate Pulsars at Bootle, apart from new-style wheelchair stickers. Standard seating capacity 44 seats, 33 standees (max cap 77). Usual 8885kg weight marking.

Driver says they cost £144,000 each. Just 200 miles on 3164's clock.
Nice clean buses.

Nip-pick on the bit in bold - they are not Euro6. VDL are not offering anything for the UK at Euro6, these are part of the last 200 Euro5 SB200s available. They are the reason North East and Shires are receiving Streetlite Max Late in the year (North East are still getting 8 Pulsars but that's it).
