Arriva North East: New buses 2022

Arriva North East: New buses 2022

RE: New buses
(30 Aug 2022, 9:00 am)Brampton Trev wrote Pulsars started appearing when the Omnicities starting failing pre Covid.  And during Covid the route went over to Pulsars which are much better than Omnicities.

The Omnicities suffered from smells in the rear half rather like exhaust or heater fumes.
The Omnicities had a bone shaking ride due to hard suspension (also a feature of Stagecoach Scania E400s between Carlisle and Workington) and hard seats.
The Omnicities had flat slippy seats which were not condusive to bends.

The Pulsars have softer suspension and 'bucket' style seats.

The only downside of Pulsars is that they seem to be prone to vibrating themselves to bits - the last one had some horrible virbrations from somewhere in the rear when the engine was running and the bus was stationary (bus stop, traffic lights, etc.) - no vibration when on the move.

I agree that the Pulsars are much better than Omnicities, especially for a long and demanding route like the 685. 

The problem with vibrations from the rear used to be very common on Pulsars which is annoying. All of the Pulsars I have been on recently though have not done this, and the worst offenders for this problem all seem to have had it fixed (possibly at the same time they were upgraded to euro 6). Disappointing if there is still some that have this issue, maybe the ex merseyside ones as I have not been on all of them. 

It will be interesting to see allocations on the 685 once Jesmond depot closes. I imagine most of their pulsars will transfer away and they will then have a smaller selection to allocate to the 685 so there will be the same ones appearing daily. It will be interesting how they do when that happens.
