RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
I don't think the X1 batch of Pulsars are particularly great as a whole. Rode 3138 last week which offered a disappointingly rough ride. The leatherette seats are nowhere near as comfortable as the more common moquette variants in my experience as well - even on a 45 minute journey from Liverpool to Halton Lea, the seats become distinctly uncomfortable.

They seem to be very rattly as well |

They are pulsars, so really what do you expect. They are not the best built buses in the world. |

3137 is on the 82A this evening. Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
People forget the Marshalls were new in 1999 so are now going on 14 years old so are bound to rattle. the pulsars are only just a year old and some are falling apart |

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
To be fair, most of the marshalls of always rattled as well even when new. Neither are particularly well built buses, but that said I don't think that there are any buses built now that you can say are really well built but obviously some will be better than others. In my opinion though the lighter chassis and bodies really see to that |

Some of the best buses are probably the Volvo B10's. even today, they go well and very rare do you hear them rattling and clanging every time you hit a pot hole.. |
