And the interia really isn't impressive compared to other buses, even standard liveried 58 plate pulsars at bolton

Routes aren't converted to Sapphire because they "fit in" with other Sapphire routes at a particular depot. Refurbishing vehicles to that standard is expensive and there has to be a good case for converting the route to Sapphire. I don't think the 10 has a strong case for conversion to Sapphire compared to a route like the 47 between Liverpool and Southport

Those Pulsar 2s are a downgrade in capacity but they're not that much older (except the 59-reg 3011) than the buses they replaced
