Has it not been confirmed that the Pulsars that were thought for Speke are, in fact, not? If so, considering how often the step deckers see regular service which would surely suggest that Southport are running on a bare minimum allocation, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bolton take on enough Pulsars (if not all 13) to replace the vehicles which are returning to the leasing company and be able to release other vehicles too.

Yes they must be. As you already know the Palatines are now in regular daily use with new blinds fitted. The depot has been empty (completely empty excluding NFS buses), on a few occasions lately. Fitters were desperately trying to fix 7654 at Kew Roundabout the other day rather than put it off and came out in a van.

They are both from Green Lane, Skemnational. Here on a short-term loan I assume while the Southport Flower Show is on and the 27 shuttles run. Might nip up there later and see what's about.
