Then like you say it would make sense for the older pulsars to start being withdrawn to keep the newer ones going.
Yeah that's my trail of thoughts. I have a feeling that the Walkergate's Streetlites might end up at Darlington to see off the Ecocitys same number I believe of each and I haven't worked it out but wouldn't be surprised if Darlington be fully Streetlite then after the X1 cuts etc seeing the remaining Pulsars out.
Imo 7501 - 7507/7509 will see most the B7's off.
After that you've got a ton of Pulsars going spare. There's at least 6 at Blyth which no doubt will be released then everything withdrawn with the changes. Would see a the Centro's, the Enviro 200's (Durham ones) and then start making inroads on the Temsa's.
Be interesting to see if there's any Solos needed at Darlington after the changes aswell which would leave the PVR 4 at Ashington, Whitby and the 58 at Durham.
