I understand there will be a fleet movement of two Pulsars from Redcar to Durham, which in turn will allow 1512 and 1513 I believe to transfer back north. Redcar have a PVR decrease from 29th October (minus 2) and then again on the 6th November (minus 6).
As for the 57/57A, 2852 has been officially in reserve waiting for this PVR increase already. It will simply slot into their allocation (even though they have been using it, it hasn't officially been on their allocation). Its an intentional position to only give Ashington the exact number of Midibuses for the required allocation. I believe plans already underway to convert the 57/57A to conventional operation in the new year.
should leave Redcar pulsars alone it should be the streetlites or the two resver pulsars at Stockton could easily go to Durham
