Such a slow bus... On the many hills en-route, the bus barely made it past 20-MPH - like it couldn't get off gear one! The driver was very fast - kickdown all the way!

On the hills, it barely made it past 20-MPH. The driver had his foot down at every available occasion, though!

2902 is extremely poor, definitely in safe made, it can't be that slow and not be in safe mode really!

Like a few others, it has the sensitive kickdown issue (which is good!). A few buses other than 09-plated Pulsar 2s seem to have it, such as CX58 FZE (2923) and MX59 FFT (3015).

2902 up Brownlow Hill in Liverpool was nothing more than a disgrace! The driver definitely had his foot right down and the bus was on gear one to the top (20-MPH, dead). Then when he got to the top (where it slightly declines a bit), it just flew off gear two (kickdown) - evidently, he had his foot down!
