It got tested again on Wednesday so could well be back in service.

The Pulsars are seeing off the Temsa's, it's been stated elsewhere about 23 which should see them off - presuming the shortfall will be made up by either cutting the number of spares needed, other transfers, PVR decreases etc.

The Evora's are rumoured to be displacing Pulsars to Stockton to displace Streetlites to Merseyside, which in turn will displace Pulsars there - potentially the same ones coming to Redcar.

The impression I get is that Redcar have taken the 10 Evora's away from Merseyside's order, which is needed to clear all their older Pulsars due to the 15 year age limit, and as a result ANE are having to give them Streetlites instead. The Merseyside Pulsars I imagine would have otherwise been for the scrap man had it not been for the wise decision to send them up here to replace the Temsa's which are of a similar age but far more difficult to source parts for.

I can’t see any more transferring until the Evora’s replace them. Luton are expecting theirs in May so it won’t be before then. Redcar’s ones are due around June so as they were originally bound for NW you would assume that Luton are first. 
It could be a long few months of lost mileage for no bus…

Do we know when the electrics for the 43/44/45 are due at Blyth? I'm sure it was stated that would be by March? If that's the case, could some of the Blyth buses they're replacing be heading down for a short while?

Not much use Deckers down at Redcar as it'll be the 57/58 Plate Enviros that I'd imagine are going. 

You might get 3 Pulsars out of it but not much use there and arguably they'd be better displacing the Solos out being Euro 6 etc.

It’s been pretty widely reported that they’re due a hefty amount of Pulsars from elsewhere. 
From memory you have a history of shooting people down who make accurate posts for no real reason, which isn’t particularly nice.

Yes I know that Redcar are getting pulsars but clearly you didn’t read my comment correctly, no one knows what they’re getting stating the fact it could be journey mark, Arriva old or cotswold, I’m not even shooting anyone down at all I’m just stating the fact that no one knows what else Redcar are getting as it could be a mix up of pulsars

Could you point to where you specified that you were talking about the liveries? Your post makes no mention of them, and the one you had replied to simply stated that there were more to come (which is correct) - which followed on from a remark about liveries. 

If all you’re saying is that nobody knows which exact Pulsars Redcar are getting, then there are far more polite ways to phrase it.

Does anyone know if 3038 (MX10BZY), assume the missing 1395, is heading to Redcar (assume so) or Ashington? Been mixed reports on it depending where you look. Supposedly it's broken at St. Helens atm hence why it's not turned up yet.

1395 is MX10CZC and is at Darlington - that and 1396 are due to replace the remaining E300s there, although 1395 hasn't managed to make a brilliant start at Darlington, breaking down yesterday on the X67 in Stockton (meaning the last X67 from Middlesbrough didn't operate as a result) and then it didn't manage to do much this morning before breaking down as well.

EDIT: Having consulted a source of mine within Arriva - 3038 is not one of the Pulsars transferring to the North East region.

Thanks for that 1395 slipped in without me noticing and would make sense that they're prioritising the few non standard vehicles out the fleet asap. 

Surprised 3038 isn't coming up here since the rest of the batch is here, guess there's some reason behind it though.
