RE: Arriva North East
Sapphire Upgrading 2015

In a change of plan:

The 22 (Durham-Peterlee-Sunderland) and 24 (Durham-Peterlee-Hartlepool) will now be launched in the spring instead of the 6 (Durham-West Auckland or Cockfield) due to long-term roadworks on the 6 route (which additionally affect the 7 between Darlington and Durham). As such, Streetlites 1595-1600 will now be allocated to the 22 rather than the 6 while the Pulsars released off the 7 by the new Enviro400s will be used on the 24 alongside an older example refurbished (presumably with 2 extra done as spares).

As such, this now means ex-North West Pulsars 1524-33 (3113-22) will instead be joined by a number of native examples in being refurbished to Sapphire specification for the 6 alongside the 2 new Enviro400s.
