(14 Sep 2015, 5:35 pm)BusLoverMum Why? The X12 has Pulsars as part of its allocation, anyhow.

(14 Sep 2015, 5:37 pm)S813 FVK I have no idea when the timetable resulting in a corporate liveried pulsar being allocated daily ends but even if it hasn't, only 1 should be allocated. 2 is even worse.

(14 Sep 2015, 5:39 pm)Dan It ended at the start of the month (like Go North East's PVR on indiGo and Prince Bishops decreasing by one vehicle).

(14 Sep 2015, 5:40 pm)S813 FVK Was it just allocated for the period of the Millburngate Bridge works? If so, oh dear

(14 Sep 2015, 5:39 pm)BusLoverMum That's true, though all Max really seems to offer is slidy seats.The MAX buses also have WiFi which these two Pulsars do not.

(14 Sep 2015, 5:42 pm)Dan They've obviously lost their MAX-spec spare (1415) to Stockton, so the appearance of standard-spec vehicles on Durham's allocation on the X12 was bound to increase. We've discussed at length in other areas of the forum the reasons why vehicles can be missing from service - makes a change seeing it on here, although the same comments made previously apply here too.

(14 Sep 2015, 5:48 pm)S813 FVK Oh i remember alright . Annoying since we kept going in a massive cycle (and still do) regarding the issue.
No idea if it would be logical but if they could refurbish a bus to MAX spec (even if it was another pulsar) and keep it on the local routes (such as the 43), they would have their spare bus back and will reduce the chances again of a corporate liveried vehicle being allocated (providing they don't disregard the spare pulsar like they did with 1415 for a while).

(14 Sep 2015, 5:57 pm)aureolin Perhaps I'm missing something, but there seems to be a discrepancy across eLeather seating, and I know I'm not the only enthusiast to notice this. The Sapphire spec provides the most comfortable example of eLeather in the North East in my opinion. I find MAX spec to be a bit too firm and slippy, and I find the ones in GNE's Sapphire to be like sitting on a wooden bench. It's got me a bit baffled to be honest, as I thought it was all exactly the same!

(14 Sep 2015, 8:25 am)Stuartphin1639 Oh dear oh dear, should have been decker allocated until at least October at the earliest, as many people who pass the driving test will take there friends to college using the car in theory, I think I am on the 5A that goes to the college tonight so will see what it's like tonight

(15 Sep 2015, 7:52 am)MrPottski The decker allocation was only a temporary measure for a week. There is one parked up in Faverdale though, been there a few days, so they're one down with no spare for the 7. However, there'll be spare deckers when the winter timetable kicks in, X93 and Whitby P&R I believe. They'll be ideal for morning 5A and afternoon X26, which is being absolutely hammered since the school contracts got cancelled in Richmond.
