This wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if the older Enviros were being used on the 52s, but there seem to be a lot of Pulsars being allocated on this route instead.

A bit weird if you ask me!

This because at least two of MX09 batch of vehicles are away for repaint and this takes about 2 weeks, so with there being at least seven schools on the 61 corridor the 15 plate deckers are allocated for capacity reasons.

The pulsars are normally allocated to the less busier duties and once the repaint programme for the 09 batch is finished things should revert back (fingers crossed!)
