I imagine the Pulsars will also be significantly more reliable, better to drive, and more comfortable from a passenger POV compared to an Omnicity, if the 05/07 plate ones up here were anything to go by at the end.

Scraping the barrel though mind. Guess it depends how they've looked after them, just checking on BusTimes, obviously not the most reliable thing, and they all seemed to be out today. The ones up here had quite a hard life in comparison aswell doing the X93 and 685 and the Darlington rural routes which aren't easiest things around. Plus just being based at Darlington and Redcar is bad enough.

It's not a surprise that the Streetlite's that neither of them could keep on the road have suddenly become fine when they've left. Not to mention the state of the Solo's which turned up from there.
