I photted 6233 - Y466 UGC an Arriva Southern Counties DAF DB250/Alexander ALX400 on tow passing through Cheshire northbound on the M6 at teatime today.

Does anyone know of its destination?

RE: Arriva Southern Counties
Im resurrecting this do the ex Merseyside Pulsars at Stevenage still go on the 100/101 even though they arent in Sapphire livery now? I would like to know for when I go there.

RE: Arriva Southern Counties
Looking at the fleetlist on ukbuses.com it seems they are all in the new blue rinse livery. There are 14 of them 3983 to 3896 allocated to Stevenage. I would imagine they would go on most routes. I find search on Flickr for up to date allocations and movements- although searching individual vehicles can be a tad laborious. HTH

Daryl,

Only just seen your message. Looking at the Bustimes Arriva Herts & Essex Page the current list for the ex- Merseyside Pulsars [note that 3796 does not appear] is as follows:

3783 100 16/07/2019 20:17
3784 101 08:52
3785 101 17/07/2019 19:01
3786 101 18/07/2019 19:20
3787 97 10/07/2019 19:33
3788 101 18/07/2019 23:21
3789 97 17/07/2019 18:27
3790 100 05/07/2019 20:39
3791 100 08:48
3792 100 18/07/2019 20:56
3793 100 10:47
3794 101 17/07/2019 18:42
3795 97 11/07/2019 20:14

The date and time is that when they last appeared on the system and only a few Stevenage routes are updated. However, even from this limited info you can see that 3784, 3791 & 3793 are on the 100/101 today. Hope this helps.

I recommend you try to ride one shortly. The latest London Omnibus Traction Society newsletter indicates that these Pulsars will be replaced by new Volvo B8RLE-Eclipses in October

It will probably be in September when I end up staying in Stevenage for a couple of days to maximise my chances of getting all 14 Pulsars.

Good luck - it's a horrible town. Could be worse though, they might have gone to Luton

I’ve managed to get 9 possibly 10 as I’m not sure if I mixed up 3793 other than this I need 3785,3789,3795 & 3796 the tracker doesn’t seem to be showing apart from the 97,100,101 so any info about where they are tomorrow would be greatly appreciated.
