Been Onneley pulsars that are nowhere near as good as this. That was the one that was never on the road when allocated to One of the Welsh depots for the X55, wasn't it? |

It was never on the road when allocated to Wrexham for the X94. Ended up blowing its engine and sitting out of use for an age waiting for a reconditioned one. Absolute superb once it returned to service though as mentioned above. ![[Image: 1chYP.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/1chYP.jpg)

Yes, you can tell that the engine is not it's original one, noise is a little different. Excellent ride, very comfortable. |

It did fail quite early in its career and required a new engine. It moved west to join the rest of the batch. They all moved to Bangor and then temporarily to Bolton before arriving at Speke. Being the oldest single deckers at Speke they may well continue their nomadic life when the new deckers for the 75 arrive later this year. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

4556 and 4128 broke the Gemini dominance on the 79 today. Nice to see the ALX400s still getting onto the major routes now and again.

Very strangely there was a 54 plate Commander on the 82 today, which had a fully standing load when I saw it. 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.
