The Pulsars wouldn't be too bad if the frequency met the demand. Although you may as well be riding on board a cattle truck, if one turns up during peak times.

Not had the misery of the X1 at peak times, but I have had a Pulsar turn up on the X2 at peak time in Framwellgate Moor and everyone has to try and pile on and one I managed to just get on and when we got to Durham Johnston School someone accidentally pressed the bell and the driver thought I was wanting to be off and decided that he wasn't happy with where I was stood so he told me to move further back or get off, but I couldn't move back so he made me get off at Durham Johnston School leaving me to walk to Durham Bus Station in the pouring rain and as I got to the roundabout I saw my connecting service 7 heading out of North Road, so I got soaked and had to stand for 20 minutes in Durham Bus Station because of the allocations of Pulsars. And this is why I've been very vocal about services between Framwellgate Moor and Durham because it is a nightmare just getting on a bus to complete a 5 minute journey on an Arriva bus at various points of the day during school / New College term time and needs to be addressed and if the Enviro 200s are used on the 64 and they have 34 seats like it was suggested the other day there will be hell for Arriva.
