3142-6 entered service on Monday, with 3141 down at the Olympics. They're already two down, with 3141 as noted and 3146 sustained serious accident damage on it's first day in service as a car was speeding on the wrong side of the road and went straight in to 3146. 3146 may have to go back to Wright for repair. 7533 has finally been withdrawn and it's (very nice, I believe) engine may be donated to 2358. 2570/2 are now at Bangor with 2571 and dart 2359 expected to follow suit.

HTIOI.

Brilliant, why is it always the new vehicles, a shame that 7533 has been withdrawn. A cracking bus that one

I agree 7533 is a great bus, a shame that it's likely to meet it's end sooner rather than later, would have been nice to see it saved!

Do these new Pulsar 2s for Chester Citybus routes have leather seating? The ones for route X1 from Runcorn to Liverpool will, hence my curiosity.

RE: Arriva North West - Chester Depot
Nope they are bog standard ones as far as im away Metro. Runcorns are High-Spec hence the leather seating like the Cymru Coastliner Geminis in Wales

They are the normal standard seating, had a ride on one of them yesterday.

My thanks to you both for confirming they have normal seating. Having done others in Manchester and the north east, I can therefore manage without riding one.

Well that is good news for now. Whenever I use the 10, that bus haunts me, it always seems to be on it but I do love that bus. I would save it from the scrapman if I had the money to pay for it.
