(03 Aug 2014, 12:34 pm)mb134 I know it isn't a Pulsar but the one on 7502 was intermittent yesterday maybe if lots of people are using them at the same time?I'm the only person on board under 60 years of age! The other four passengers aren't using the power sockets.

(03 Aug 2014, 12:36 pm)Dan I'm the only person on board under 60 years of age! The other four passengers aren't using the power sockets.Ah right ok just thought it may be a possibility.
Tried multiple sets, but to no avail.
Had no luck with Sapphire this week!

(03 Aug 2014, 12:39 pm)mb134 Ah right ok just thought it may be a possibility.I got the Wi-Fi to work on 7505 yesterday, but it was that slow I turned it off. Was taking liberties when it was taking about 30 seconds to send a message, so went back to using my own data.
Joining you on the bad luck front, the Wi-Fi was dodgy yesterday on 7502 as well, or at least didn't work anywhere near as easily as 7509's did

(03 Aug 2014, 11:20 am)G-CPTN The need for vehicles to be accessible to DDA standards is being phased in over six years. The dates by which different vehicle types have to be compliant are:
• 1 January 2015 – all buses and coaches up to 7.5 tonnes GVW
• 1 January 2016 – single-deck buses over 7.5 tonnes GVW
• 1 January 2017 – double-deck buses
• 1 January 2020 – coaches

Plugs worked yesterday though, and the journey was quite pleasant...after I put my earphones in!

Yeah there was a screaming baby on mine so I decided that music was the best way as well

(03 Aug 2014, 11:49 am)mb134 Was this the reason initially that Arriva bought both body types?
Cadets! You could imagine there would have been more interest if it had been an Alexander bodied one!
(03 Aug 2014, 12:54 pm)Roland Pratt Cadets! You could imagine there would have been more interest if it had been an Alexander bodied one!
(03 Aug 2014, 12:52 pm)Dan Aye... The old woman had a few white hairs coming from her chin, like! Guess she'll have to pluck them out instead.
(03 Aug 2014, 12:53 pm)Roland Pratt Did Alexander make the necessary modifications between V and W reg?Aren't the V reg B10's wright bodied? If so could Arriva have ordered these then realised that they would have a shorter life than Alexander bodied ones so bought those to follow on?
