Just two so far - 2910 and 2911. 2910 is a good bus, so I hope that 2911 is similar!

That's certainly not the case! Darts and (sadly) Cadets are still regular allocations. I'd say that about 4-5 boards are operated by Pulsars throughout the week, whilst Darts and Cadets take-up the other boards. Saturdays vary.

I think it would make sense to make the 311 decker operated considering bootle now have the ex cross river Enviro400s as the loadings on the 311 can get quite high it would be a good route for a decker ive rode a DLA on it in the past and even thaty coped very well.

One of the few remaining DLA deckers at Bootle is running the 52/52A today, Interurbanised 4090 (S260 JUA) seen chugging along slowly.

No change there then...

Sounds more like its exhaust has malfunctioned! Either way, it sounds absolutely unfit for the road at the moment - far too loud!
