Something that hasn't been considered is the fact they can frequently appear on the likes of the 63 or X93 in place of it's intended route(s) and then one is robbed on weekends to fulfil Redcar's Moorsbus output.
Pulsar's are more comfortable IMO but seemingly don't perform any better as trials on 5/5A proved and no repeated wibble from enthusiasts is gonna change that FACT, seriously how many times have I said this now? [emoji19]
