I was thinking this before but with the mylleniums/ alx 300's rumoured to go from Birkenhead when they get there new pulsars, surely a few of these buses would be ideal for the 311? I cant imagine the reliability rate of the darts is that good on such a long route! Especially 12 year old plus darts!

I hope not! I've rode on many of those buses and, in most cases, their ride-quality has been absolutely horrific - far worse than most Darts that I've rode on! Whether they'd be more reliable or not is something which I don't know and could only probably be answered after they've been on there for a while because buses seem to change when they're moved onto different services.

fair enough, i've only rode the recently p and p'd mylleniums and alx 300's at speke, green lane and bolton and on average are pretty decent- certainly better than a dart!
