and it screams between Corbridge and Horsley and I was on it late at night last time with an open road and empty bus, I thought at one point the bus would give up!
Cheers
I love it when a Pulsar turns up, Less gears = More thrash Second best on there has to be the Stagecoach E300s ( Not the MAN Chassis ones ) for pretty much the same reason, Though the E300s come first for comfort!
I feel that Pulsars would be a better allocation when the route gets Branded jointly with Stagecoach, Omnictiys would've been better on the X16 though.

I really recommend it, One of the best bus routes ive been on in my life and that's saying something!
