I have to say the new Pulsar's are great, have been on, 3126 / 7 / 30 and 35, with my source, 3130 being the fastest.

Could it be one of the ten that are going to speke?

Thanks for this MM, I suppose it will be getting a small refurb and then off to another depot.

Very interesting that 4405 has left so early on. I've got a feeling that Speke will get their share first, but I do wonder what will be replaced at Speke if they're taking on Laird Street Mylleniums as well. Interesting times ahead!

Knowing Speke theyll cast off some 06 plates, the only depot that manages to get new buses, wreck them and cast them off in exchange for yet more brand new buses just a few years later ,while other depots have to suffer with their cast offs! (Eyes point over to GL and LS..)
But anyway, thats me over and done with
Only time will tell

There's still around 4 Myllenniums left in Laird Street, (not in use) two parked by the steam clean, 2460 parked at the back and 2456 over the pits still having work done.

Rubbish. It's been said so many times already, Speke gets more new buses than other depots because it makes the most money for Arriva. It really is that simple. As for 'wrecking' buses, sounds like a bitter conspiracy theory to me.
