As its on loan arriva dont need to tax it as its still owned by Wright Bus so tax might be there but not installed until the day its out

destinations can bw sorted by email the company who makes them ask for a tempory list they send out the USB and they work (logically)

with machine Supertravel, network Warrington and Arriva St Helens found a way to fit bace plate so should be ok

for the loan it would have been better to send the Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse 2 demonstrator as it could be used on more routes and it is the same size as a Pulsar

But Skemnational good luck with the Streetlite

See this page: http://www.wright-bus.com/streetlite/options.html. The 11.5m version has, near as makes no difference, the same capacity as a Pulsar and the Streelite will also consume less fuel than a big heavy Volvo single deck. As for the B7RLE being able to go on more routes... Well, I doubt it as I would imagine the actual reason it's being kept local is in case they experience any problems with it.
