While the service has been incredibly poor the past few weeks and people are rightly annoyed, the Conservatives have wrecked the country to the point that people who use the bus to commute likely have no other option financially - they aren't suddenly going to be able to get cars essentially.

Pulsars have a lower capacity than the vehicles they're replacing, and also aren't capable of any of the X14/15/18 duties that 7578-81 have been used on. It doesn't take a genius to work out that Ashington are getting the short end of the stick here. 

I have been on all of 7424-6 on the X93, and they performed okay. I do think they should be replaced. I don't think they should use buses which are needed in a separate part of the operation on demanding routes which are busy all year. Comprende? 

You've told me that the failure of the vehicles is nothing to do with maintenance, yet have constantly ignored the fact that 7401 has been VOR for around a year with the same issue, and that buses were constantly sent out last year with recurring issues only to fail again in service.

 It's got axle problems   nothing to do with maintenance I herd it's awaiting to get sent away to get sort it's spent it's hafe it's life on the x93 so u can expect ware and tare on the volvos
