No new vehicles on order for Arriva

should arriva be taking into account of the cost for changing the colours of the buses when there decide to change there image

Plans seem to be up in the air - supposedly Pulsars being refurbished for the revised 22/23/24 but Stockton are trying to get some Pulsars to replace the Streetlites on 5/5a possibly meaning there's 10 Sapphire spec Streetlites spare that could be used on 22/23/24 with Pulsars intended for there refurbished and sent to Stockton for 5/5a. It's a case of waiting to see what happens.
