Oh dear! This could make tracking down a Streetlite on the Bank Holiday harder, if a Pulsar is subbed like this.

To be honest the Bank Holiday and Sunday timetable requires less buses than the weekday timetable so im surprised to hear of a Pulsar used on the 487

This replaced 6005 in the morning.

I managed to spot 6001/3 & 4 on 487s today. I think they should be used on other services as well so that passengers on other services can get to use them. Why just 1 route and maybe a 423 now and again. Sone routes I would be weary about putting a new vehicle on but thats what happens whrn uou run vehicles through areas where vandals and gangs hsng around.

Noted I think 6005(?) on a 2 this evening

Streetlites 6001 on route 2 to Liverpool just arrived at Ellesmere Port bus station just 4pm, that first I've seen Streetlites on route 2. Few passengers on board. Now gone to heading to Liverpool.

Heard that two streetlites had a bump in Neston today

That's careless - hope nothing serious

Is this with vehicles or road humps .

I do know on the first day that Drake Road the humps were literally being taken at walking pace , the other side of Hinderton Road is the more forgiving speed cushions.

the speed humps along Breezehill are the worst, if you go faster than 5 in a car you scrape the floor. The 487 has used the road for about 3 years now though with little trouble. Main issue being parked cars around school finishing time. I believe the 487 only does the Ness gardens and neston circuit extension because they received the funding for that short lived route 23 contract operated by GHA.
