Although seeing as Darlington have service changes coming, is it likely a Pulsar could be released to finally see of the Cadets?

</p><p>Considering most of the 05 plate Darts have already been withdrawn, it's peculiar Arriva are willing to retain the remaining ones for a good few more years. I believe it would make perfect sense to send 2819, 20 to Ashington allowing service 57 to have a full Optare allocation, and to standardise the Midibus fleet at Ashington.</p><p><br></p><p>Without the need to withdraw 1800/1801, they could always take up a spare role at other depots allowing older spare vehicles i.e. 1759, 4516, 4523 to be withdrawn.</p><p>
