Surely the decision to cascade the Pulsars from ANW was made a while back, so they could have delayed max, refurbished the 10 reg Pulsars from ANW to Max spec and got vehicles that were newer, in better nick and easier to maintain. The engineers hate the Scanias, I've heard 3 need new engines, they all need new heaters, the list goes on! I drove 4644 today and it had more screws, rivets and metal plates holding it together than enough. But, Arriva do like to get their money's worth!
Have no issues to report with the one I had on the X66 today other than the bell.
They really should have sorted the bell out when it was undergoing refurbishment. It's far too loud. The girl who was sitting opposite me actually let out a little scream and jumped out of her seat when someone pressed the bell... Granted we were at the back where it's the loudest, but crikey...
