The pulsars will be around for another 10 years where as the cadets, commanders considerably less.
Most of the Cadets and Commanders in the area are allready refurbished, it's just the minority that aren't.

4213 out on the 47. Unusual for a weekday.

More specifically, which buses will be involved in this programme and how long will it take? I'm guessing its 3033-46 and advantage of a reduced PVR over the school holidays means it will be at least September before they are all done.
2701/2702 are showing on this months allocation as Southport paint programme cover

I was thinking in terms of lower reg plate numbers as I typed the post.
The Pulsars receiving treatment are hardly in a dire condition inside and are already in new standard livery whilst a good amount of the aforementioned vehicles (particularly at some garages) have still yet to be touched since new.
