That will be tight for availability but it is workable if the vehicles coming in are reliable .

Whether they're reliable or not, there will still be days when one (or even more) are off of the road for their relevant maintenance attention. Arriva seem to be setting-up situations like this a lot now - firstly with Southport's Volvo/ALX400s, then with Wrexham's Enviro400s and now with these! As demonstrated at Southport, it's not a great situation to be in! I could only presume that, in this situation, there are enough spare Pulsars in the depot's fleet to cover times that all 18 may be unavailable - and, come on, even the current Pulsar services are barely always covered by them at the moment!
