Could the Streetlites not go as follows
11x ex Red Kite Streetlites + 3x ex PB Streetlites
- 8x for 58
- 5x for 12/12A
- 1x spare
Then.................
- 8x Versas + another sourced for 93/94
- 4x Mercs for the 6 (or 5x if frequency goes back to every 30 mins whole route)
I don't think however that the 93/94 will become a double deck operation. Versas would be most suited to this route.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Mercs currently on the X30 end up on the 6 when the E400s arrive.

6915, 6916, 6917, 6918, 6919 and 6932 are dedicated to scholars, taxi and V11
Tbh, I'm still expecting them to appear on the X lines in a few months time.
It was the same with when they came last year and still 6918 made it's regular service debut on the 15th September on the 57 and 6923 on the 97A on the 5th October and since thise 2 first had those ventures riverside always seemed to have them out at the end of last year/start of this year and 6916 even found it's way onto the X66 in December.
And Depford's dual doors appear loads on the 56
So I imagine consent will do the same this year

Hmmm first I've heard. The plan originally was for 97. No doubt that clears up where RK streetlites will be heading....

Apparently 97 is getting new buses, 93/94 are getting refreshed double deckers.
Looks like he got confused with all the numbers!
