Seems they're just sending up the Pulsar's early so Merseyside can get their Streetlite's earlier.
Not ideal for Stockton mind who are getting a downgrade from it all, especially considering how elderly the fleet is there already. Debate on whether a 5 year old Pulsar is better than a Streetlite mind.
Originally it was mentioned that the 09 Plate Pulsar's were meant to be moving from Redcar instead but seems plans have changed.
Stockton actually benefit from taking the Merseyside Pulsars compared to taking their original ones back from Redcar - the Merseyside ones have been modified to Euro6 standard so increases the number of vehicles that can be used on the Newcastle X12 turns by 10 (while the StreetLites are CAZ compliant, they are now rarely used on there except for emergencies).
