(25 Apr 2017, 4:43 pm)Dan Crusader PVR is 13 (and has until recently had one spare fleet liveried bus - 5332)
Coaster PVR is 14 (and has two spare fleet liveried buses - 5273 and 5274).
They'd work well on either, but I'd put my money on Coaster, with the OmniCitys directly replacing Scania L94s. Another feasible suggestion would be that some could transfer to Stanley to convert double-deck boards on Toon Link to singles, allowing the OmniDekkas to cascade to replace further ex-London Volvo B7. Unlikely that the OmniCity will spread out across every depot - more likely that they'll be kept together for standardisation, as they're not the simplest of vehicle types to work on.
I just wrote the timetables down on a piece of paper, I must have added double by accident!
I personally think that they'll end up changing the stanley system again by splitting branding up completely, so I don't think the black omnidekkas will go anywhere until they die, which I don't see as being too far in the distance given one stinks of fumes, one has had an engine bay falling out more than once and another two don't stop refusing to leak oil on a large scale. The fact that they stopped doing back-end repairs and thermal work makes me think that they stopped being worked on for more than just being 'busy'.
