I imagine the Pulsars will also be significantly more reliable, better to drive, and more comfortable from a passenger POV compared to an Omnicity, if the 05/07 plate ones up here were anything to go by at the end.

Part the reason for them going was they were negatively viewed upon by the drivers, so good chance even older Pulsar's are seen as an improvement.

I imagine the fact they're a non standard type within the Arriva fleet now is also reason to want to see them off, much like with the Temsas at Redcar or Tempos in Yorkshire, likely making parts difficult to source and/or an unnecessary expense.
