1 is ready for collection now (delay is due to little or no upper management working between Christmas and New Year) - effectively this will replace 1494 following its untimely demise in the RTC before Christmas
The second will transfer once operation of the 685 passes to Stagecoach - this will effectively fulfil the intended November cascade plan of 5 additional Pulsars following the reinstatement of the normal PVR on the 15 and the Kirklevington extension on the 7/7A prior to Redcar's vehicle shortage issues, which resulted in Stockton only gaining 4 Pulsars from Ashington instead of the 4 from Redcar plus 1432 from Ashington (incidentally Stockton have technically only been running 3 of those Pulsars, 1409 has yet to enter service)
Also due back in use shortly is 4719 - it underwent MOT prior to Christmas, however its return to service has been put back due to no tax (can't tax it until Tuesday as the DVLA shutdown between Christmas and New Year) and it now awaits delivery of yet more new panels following 4720's little adventure on the evening of the 23rd
