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.
tbf there should always be enough Pulsar's for them. If it goes to Ashington (assuming where it's going) there's always going to be at least 12 Pulsar's to allocate from and that could be more depending on what the 43/44/45 is allocated. I'm still not sure what the ex. Merseyside Pulsar's are actually meant to be allocated to (assuming the ex 3 Sapphires on paper being for the 685).
