The original 09 batch Pulsars which aren't into MAX urgently need done though especially the ones still in the Arriva original livery like 1407 and 1409. One of them in bad condition as inside with burnt seats and them all white where I assume they've washed grafitti off at some time.

Agreed the Pulsar 2s in old old style should be done asap. Due to Arriva simplifying its brand since 2016/17 it may be worth doing vehicles by outside interior style. E.g getting rid of all eco then all pre 2009 then max/sapphire etc. Arriva NE has in my opinion a branding issue. It tried hard at first branding and advertising different schemes and did not maintain them, therefore losing the value gained. Going forward reducing brand by brand, simplifying what the customer sees, consolidating into 1 or maybe 2 brands removing the diluted brands with ‘refreshed’ vehicles.
