Pulsar's no doubt, from my observations at least, it seems to be a fairly common occurrence to see Omnicitys on other services such as these whilst Pulsar's fill the void on 85/685's.

Had 1501 on the 2 today and you wouldn't think it was much older than a Pulsar, cracking bus! I wouldn't have liked to been on the 2 with a MPD/Solo though as it was very busy, same with the 1.

7466 was on the 1 today too.

Was it 1401 you were on? as 1501 is a Pulsar. Do agree though that a bus of that size is more suited to the 2 as most times it easily fills an MPD and can become overcrowded.

Ah yeah must have been 1401 then as it was a Commander Smile
The Solos are a stupid idea really for the 1/2.
