Copied from odd workings thread - I've heard a few mentions of the impending delivery of these StreetLite's but each time only the 1/5 have been mentioned, nothing said about the 12/19, whether there is reason for this or not, I don't know.

I've had a crazy thought, the 23 is supposedly joining the Sapphire brand, I don't know what the 1/5/5A PVR would be if the above is true although I think when they interworked like before it had a PVR of 9 I think, if this was the same again, I have had a thought of somewhere else the remaining new StreetLite's would go:

Displace the 63 plate Pulsar's off the 7 and replace them with 4 new StreetLite's (3 at Darlington and 1 at Belmont) although you would have to use one of 1595-1601 to make up the full PVR of the 7, then allocate the Sapphire  7 branded Pulsar's to the 23 and some more of the standard livery Pulsar's would remain at Darlington depot for the 8/8A, 12/19 etc. This idea would save on the cost of refurbishing buses to Sapphire standard for the 23.

Highly doubt this would ever happen, will probably be as before except the 12/19 will no longer interwork with the 1/5/5A.
