X7/8/9 is mix of DD and Pulsar, in the past the X9 would be Pulsar only but as they run off the same running board as the 7 and 8 they will sometimes be DD. Service 1 and 2 will be all Pulsar when the last Solos are phased out, which will help them to cope with the reduced 30 min service compared to the pre covid 20 min schedule.
