st helens circular

warrington round trip via wigan and liverpool 11/5/12

my round trip started with arriva st helens  pulsar 2 2998 on route 352 departing st helens at 3:20pm, i took this bus to carr mill dam and it was a great bus, no rattles and great speed. well worth a ride.

i then met up with a mate of mine (tom burrows)

our next bus was arriva st helens pulsar 2 3047 on route 352 departing carr mill at 3:45pm, another good pulsar 2 again it does not rattle and its one of the fastest pulsar 2's with arriva north west.

we then got a few photos

our next bus was arriva bolton 2565 on route 360 departing wigan at 4:53pm, i am a fan of this type of daf so i was happy when i seen it coming, this bus does rattle a lot when not moving but once we got moving it did not rattle, it is also a fast bus with a strong engine and well worth a ride.

we then got some photos one of the photos i liked is under this sentence

warrington transport DK07 FWH (67)


our next bus was arriva green lane 2718 on route 7A departing warrington at 6:40pm, i like my wright renowns but this one was one of the worst i had riden in a while. the moment we backed up so we could leave the bus station it refused to change gear and it took a good 5 mins to sort the problem out. this bus did not feel fast however it did get me to liverpool 2 mins early (most of the time we are 5 mins late)

our last bus of the day was really a good way to finish the day as we had ex malta 2992 on route 10A departing liverpool at 7:57pm this pulsar 2 was an ok example, it did not rattle and its speed was ok so nothing special here but better than its sister bus 2990
