15 Pulsars will be moving out of St Helens in the next few weeks as they reach the 15 year age limit.
They will be replaced with 15 newer examples from Wakefield (10) and Castleford (5)
3 Enviros from Bootle 4411/4419/4420 will be swapped with 3x 64 plates from Leicester Thurmaston. 3 Pulsars will also be swapped with Pulsars from Derby.
1 Pulsar from Birkenhead swapped to Dewsbury
Further buses will be swapped once replacements are sourced
In addition, when Bolton closes 23/9 buses will be transferred to Wythenshawe and Runcorn once run in begins.
I believe 2920-3 are leaving Green Lane soon as well.
When Bolton closes does anybody know which depot/s will be getting the 362/575 Sapphire branded Pulsars?
Will they be repainted before they enter service or will they just enter service in their branded Sapphire livery?

The CX58 ones will go to Runcorn 2995-2999 will go to Wythenshawe and they probably won’t be repainted due to age
They're replacing Sapphire Enviro300s on the 263 aren't they so remove the 362/575 branding and run in plain Sapphire livery would work.

2918 is on the first list but 2937 shows on the second....presumably 2918 isn't leaving just yet then?
