Passing the depot tonight, from the 61 I saw 2317 has still not moved from where it has been for a few weeks now and 2218 has been parked next to it seemingly without moving all week.

It is in the car park where a few buses are kept, you can only see it from the top deck of a bus going up Linacre Lane, you cant tell that it is 2317 as it is facing the wrong way but it was turned where you could see the back a few weeks ago.

That carpark houses 20 buses at the moment. Apparently, they're waiting for approval to use the land right beside them now.

Would 3107-3121 be too many pulsars for this garage

Yes, there is a whole corner of derelict land at the corner of hawthorne road next to that car/bus park isnt there, absolutely makes sense for them to try and get that land as it is not like there is anything else to do with that land really.

There was some sort of house or building on that land that went up in smoke a few years back, I asked my mate who was driving for arriva at the time about it and he said it didnt belong to them and it wasnt their problem as I seen the fire when I was driving home.
