The first 7 are already at Pensnett garage as of today - see Pensnett Garage thread, Winston

Any idea when the NW pulsars arrive?

Hi Bob, according to Merseyside-based bus sites, there are some more 13-reg, as well as some 61-reg Pulsars due for the Midlands. The 13-reg Pulsars have already been replaced here by Enviro400s at Green Lane garage, so the rest of those should be with you soon.

The release of the 61-reg Pulsars depends on Enviro400s going in to service at St Helens garage, as these will release some Wright Renowns to Green Lane, which will then release the Pulsars to the Midlands.

I was looking at this pic https://www.flickr.com/photos/45060815@N07/ and I wondered if Wigston are still due some normal spec new Enviro400s along with the Sapphires for Tamworth and Derby?

I wonder which Arriva operation these are for

These could be for Speke depot in Merseyside, they are due 19 Enviro400s and according to one of the guys that works there, they're due to start arriving this week.

I'm not sure if I'm correct here but I'm sure I read somewhere that the MMC Enviro400 will be produced exclusively at Scarborough. Perhaps the initial 2014 orders including this 20 for NXWM are being produced in Falkirk as Scarborough may need time to adjust to producing the MMC version? After all, the prototype MMCs were made in Falkirk.

That livery looks very nice, definitely a pleasant change from 'interurban'.
