5400 is probably getting rebranded into the country ranger right now, not sure on the others

If they're 'off-road' buses, then perhaps they are being fitted with knobbly tyres, raised chassis and more appropriate suspension for the purpose intended.

Along with a desirable off road livery of course. Bear Grylls inspired I believe.

6942 is still at Deptfoed but hasn't been used in service for a few weeks. It's last week was the week before half term and it was due to be PSV tested on half term week. Hasn't been in service since but has been moved from the dead corner to the garage a few times. I would put money on it being under repair.

That should relieve the pressure off the 56 Double Deckers. 

Hopefully no streetlites.

Prince Bishops have been moved to every 15 mins, temporarily so while there are 3-4 spare not being used wouldn't it start cycling through the refurbishment.

Problem with that is they are actually still seeing use presently albeit not necessarily on the 20, one seems to do scholars and the X62 from Durham to Peterlee on an afternoon for example.

One that I find peculiar is the Drifter Lites, atm at least it seems to have a PVR of 7 but 8 buses are branded with one often appearing elsewhere, typically on the 5/9.

That’s because the 60 used to be every 10 minutes so required 8 buses. Now down to post COVID service levels, it’s PVR is 7, but it does seem for weeks now, that 2 Drifter StreetLites often get allocated to the 5/9 from start of service, meaning at least one bus on the daytime 60 allocation is filled by something else. Bus times suggests 5369, 5373 and 5376 all seem to have started the day of the 5/9 circuit on Tuesday.

Allocating the one spare branded Drifter bus to the 5/9 makes sense since evening 5/9 interwork with the 60. But as to why that happens with more than one branded bus, is odd.

Problem is Tuesday there was two solo's on the 60, a Ex-Saltwell Park on the 9, Berries spare on the 9/5. And there was like 2 drifters on the 9/5 but a 60 on the 2/2A. I think 5369/5376 either will become the dedicated spare for the 60, if and when they get repainted .
