Arriva North West - Southport Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
What's the benefit of allocating Pulsars? The Renowns don't suffer from reliability issues on the route, offer the same capacity and have, as you admit, well turned out interiors (certainly superior to the likes of a Dart at the very least). A bit noisy, yes, but I wouldn't have branded any of them uncomfortable with the refurbished interiors, which all the Southport Renowns have.

The the Marshalls would be better replaced with similar sized vehicles, which could well be further Darts; full size, single deck, vehicles are required more pressingly elsewhere than they are at Southport (on top of their current contingent that is).
