The first one - 2740 CX58EVL - arrived yesterday afternoon and another (2745) is due later today. They wear the old Sapphire livery and still branded for route 263 that they used to run on.
They’re additional spare vehicles as I think someone has realised the spares % is looking a little low across the southern depots.

Just curious has it actually been confirmed that they are only for spare roles. It's just a bit convenient when Ashington needs at least one more Pulsar for the 777 plus talk for ages about getting arid of the Solo's at the same time. Obviously the buses are going to have to come from somewhere.
1538/1539 - are these 2 'officially' still on loan at Darlington? As I'd assume they'd be part of it.
