chester round trip 10/5/12

today i did a round trip to chester and back via warrington and liverpool.

my day started with a ride on arriva st helens pulsar 1 2693 departing thatto heath at 8:15, this bus must be the best pulsar 1 with arriva st helens its the fastest i have had in a while and to make it better it did not rattle.

the next bus i had was arriva st helens marshal dart 7627 on route 329 departing st helens at 8:49, i am not a fan of marshals and i do my best to avoid them but this marshal was not to bad really it was fast and with a strong engine however it did a lot of rattling at the back. 

i then took some time to get a few photos while i waited for the X30

the next bus i had was arriva runcorn pulsar 2 2938 depart 10:03, the first thing i noticed was this bus rattled a lot when not moving and was still bad while the bus was moving the only good thing about this bus was it could get to a great speed

the next bus i had was arriva birkenhead pulsar 2 3004 on route 401 depart time 11:41, this is one of the fastest pulsar 2's with arriva birkenhead with a strong engine and the best thing about it was there was no rattles

i then got some more photos some are able to be viewed below

stagecoach gillmoss S450 KCM on route 19
MX61 AWP on route 14
CX58 EWL on route 10A
V658 DVU on route 9
CX58 EWG on route 10A
 i was then happy to see 2402 for arriva green lane come around on route 13 so i took it to page moss departing liverpool at 01:25, i must say this bus did rattle when not moving but it was fast and with a strong engine you would never think its an old bus as it really does put some of the newer buses to shame (including 2938 i had before) it is well worth being preserved

i then went for food

the last bus of the day was arriva st helens 2978 pulsar 2on route 10A departing at 2;30, this bus was ok it did rattle a bit but nothing to major
