Makes sense as when I've used the 10(A) it's been near-empty and could be given Solos rather than deckers! -- though admittedly I haven't used it often and never at peak times.
Having said that, the idea of Sapphire is to encourage growth in passenger numbers, so maybe they just haven't seen the anticipated growth yet ...

Refurbished Pulsars are what's reported for the 2 (note, not Sapphire) which isn't suitable for decker operation so they won't be on their way for the 10/A.

Just saw one of the Optare Versas on the 12 in Connahs Quay, but I was too far away to see which one.

There has been at least one on it the last few days.

Would explain why Pulsar 2646 and Eclipse 2794 were out on the X4 today.

Not heard anything about this for a while but presuming 2556 is now withdrawn?

Don't think so, saw it in Mynydd Isa the other day (Y20 BLU)

Thanks for the replies, this must be the last DAF Cadet in service now then.
