Could easily be reduced if someone cared to adjust the emergency exit handles.

Today, Renowns Y718 KNF (2718) and Y721 KNF (2721) were out on the 8/9 and the 12/13 respectively.

Also, Plaxton Pointer 2 X216 ANC (2216) was out on the 6/7 - I seen it on the 6, heading to Warrington...!

Just a friendly reminder of the forum guidelines section 1b.:

By all means discuss vehicles among operator's fleets but ensure that your comments are substansiated and not just a reference to vehicles being 'sheds'.

Thanks!

Being GL longest route the 6 to warrington should have pulsars on it all the time

RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot
It's not about how long the route is though, it's about how much revenue and ultimately profit it brings in ;-) Remember also, that due to interworking (if I'm correct!), a Pulsar allocated on a Warrington 6 is also going to be working shorter 6s and 7s through the day.

They do interwork,but remember the recovery costs if one of the older buses breaks
down in warrington

RE: Arriva North West - Green Lane Depot
With the allocation of the Renowns, that hasn't been a major issue (as far as I'm aware, at least) and as has been discussed previously, large operators like Arriva receive generous discounts from recovery operators such as RNW anyway.
