No idea if it would be logical but if they could refurbish a bus to MAX spec (even if it was another pulsar) and keep it on the local routes (such as the 43), they would have their spare bus back and will reduce the chances again of a corporate liveried vehicle being allocated (providing they don't disregard the spare pulsar like they did with 1415 for a while).
There is a double deck vehicle in refurb now to MAX spec which will be allocated to Blyth, releasing a Gemini to Durham as a spare. This should be in place for the new Uni tender starting at the change date of 4th October.
