Wheres everyone complaining about Arriva buying Wright products? I mean, most complain about First doing it so why not Arriva? They still have a bit of variety to their order book, although admittedly not in Yorkshire. It would be nice to see them buy a few Optare products for this region

I do like the Wright products but i really need to come around to Pulsars which so far i havn't liked, They seem very lightweight and plasticy and the wheels are too small for the bodywork. I Could'nt agree with you more, regarding your comment about the wheels in relation to the size of the body. I too think this detract's from the overall look of the bus, Which is to all intent's and purposes, a mini Eclipse. I've not been on a AY Pulsar yet, but, as a regular visitor to North Wales, I've been on many a Pulsar on the Arriva Cymru service 12 Llandudno - Rhyl and, i think they ride better than they look.

I saw an UID Arriva Pulsar (Brand new), passing Birch services on M62 yesterday lunchtime. I would assume this would be one of the aforementioned.

Just a few questions, if i may. How many new Pulsar's are AY getting?. What will the allocation/split of these buses be?. Are these the direct replacements for the ALX300's, or will the step entrance Spectra's and Ikaruses go first?. Also is there any truth in the rumour, the Tempo's are heading west to Dewsbury and Heckmondwike, once Castleford receives it's oversize Toyota Prius's?. Many thanks in anticipation of your kind responses.

Many thanks in anticipation of your kind responses. I heard that 40 Pulsars were due and they were to replace the ALX300's but not necessarily on a one for one basis. Other snippits include the Renowns and remaining Low Spectras moving from Castleford to Belle Isle. My own view only, initially I don't see the Tempos moving from Castleford even when the new Volvos arrive for 163/166. Castleford have a requirement for Singles due to a number of low bridges in the area and if the Spectras go to Belle Isle then why would the Tempos have to move.

If some of the new Pulsars end up at Hecky, i'd like to see a few Eclipses over @ Cas. They're a smart piece of kit. Possibly my favourite bus in the AY fleet if i'm honest.

Just the one (1456), For Heckmondwike then. Although they do have two 61 reg example's. I wonder if any of Dewsbury's allocation will be branded up for the 281/2/3 route.
