Stanley
Services 6 & X70/X71 - PVR 10 - "Northern" branded Scania OmniDekka
Services 8/78 - PVR 6 - "Coast & Country" branded Wright Streetlite
Services 15/15A - PVR 3 - Corporate liveried Volvo B7TL
Services 16/16A - PVR 9 - "Durham Diamond" branded Mercedes Citaro
Services 45/46 - PVR 10 - "Red Kite" branded Wright Streetlite
Services X30/X31 - PVR 6 - "Toon Link" branded Scania OmniCity
TESCO Shuttle - PVR 1 - "Northern" branded MPD
Most of the "Venture" network of services interwork with each other, at a PVR of 10 vehicles, and
as such "Venture" services V7/V8 will be allocated "Venture" branded Optare Solos.
Some journeys on services 64/95 are operated by Stanley, and these journeys will be allocated a "Venture" branded Optare Solo.
The PVR on services 45/46 has risen by one vehicle to increase layover and running time, which should improve reliability. 5401, which was previously allocated to service X43, will therefore form part of the PVR of services 45/46, and will presumably gain "Red Kite" branding in due course.

Might as well give Chester 6020 for a Vyking so we have all Vykings as spares haha...... -.-

6020 is a 'float vehicle' - it can transfer from depot to depot without replacement. It's allocated to Deptford at the moment as it was covering for 6085 which was away for GKN mods. When the next Percy Main based Volvo B9TL goes away, 6020 should transfer there.

When they were on the 21 everyone knew how bad the reliability was, friends I know who lived on the route even told me about how poor they were and they hated them.
