I am a fairly regular user of the 1 and 2 between Chester and Liverpool and have noticed that the Pulsar requirement from Laird Street is only 5 buses, all for the 2. I have occasionally seen one on the 403/413 but this means half of the batch sees little or no use. Do they have any other regular duties?

410/1

SNL824 is right, the new 2012 batch where brought in to replace the ELC and Alexander bodied DAF SB220s, so they also cover the 410/1 and occasionally get the odd one on the 418/9.

Lately there has been 2 pulsars allocated on 487s daily, and one was on 464s today too. 3129 was one of todays 487 duo. I did catch the other one which was a 59 plate, but didnt check which one.
