I know there's some more Liverpool pulsars to come, can't help think it would be better to use them to replace Solo's cause we've got far too many in the region, then get some more ex-London vehicles to Durham for the X46/48

I do wonder if some of the decker output at Belmont could be downsized to single deckers (most likely Pulsar's) although the 48/X46 is a weird one as for much of the day you could manage with single deckers but it gets very busy at peak times especially with schools/college loadings. Think the only scholars now at Belmont (excluding East Durham College services) is the 865 from Croxdale to St John's School in Bishop which is one decker that just does that run on the morning & afternoon, the lunchtime ED2 and afternoon 6 to Barnard Castle.

24 of the ex London VDL DB300's have been advertised for sale through some Bus Sales dealer
