[Archive] Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Had a ride on 4026 today -it is indeed quite nippy but has a strange swaying motion from side to side. Also a bit odd to see an old liveried decker back in normal service in Birkenhead again.

That's one thing I thought about in my head funnily enough. When we were in Queensway Tunnel I picked on was we seemed to always go onto the bumps alerting we were to close to the other side, I thought it may had been the driver getting used to a different vehicle but that's really the only time I noticed that sway of motion tbf, time will tell !

Been hating Urban 90's since 2001Dodgy

It was a bit like being on a ferry rather than a bus

Didn't notice which one but one of the new Pulsars was on the 418, seen it in Bromborough earlier this afternoon.

RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Talking of pulsars on the 418, does anyone know why the older, (in need of a refurb!) X reg buses seem to end up on this route midweek, but on the 118/119, brand new Pulsars take over?

Is anything due to replace the X reg vehicles?

There are more new pulsars available on a sunday for the 118/19 and other routes
due to a lower PVR on the 410
