Ok then:
- If the extra bus on a Monday to Friday is what I think it is, 14 new deckers would then exist for all X1 services with free wi-fi, power sockets, e-leather seating and up to date next stop announcements.
- 6001 to 6007 could go to Crook to upgrade Pronto service X21 alongside 3943 as a spare.
- 6049 (Tacho) and 6050 could go to Riverside and Hexham (6050) as spares for the TEN, Red Kite 47 and TTX (6049). This would then allow 6084 to go silver and give a full 14 vehicle allocation to the TEN with free wi-fi, power sockets, high back seating and next stop announcements.
- 6051 could go to Percy Main as a last resort spare giving the Cobalt Clippers 2 spare vehicles allowing 6116 to go silver.
- 6052 to 6053 could go to CLS, get treatment from GKN and give the Angel a full PVR of 17 modern Gemini 2 vehicles.
- 6054 could go to Deptford as a last resort spare and would swap with 6100 going to Washington (PP/Wi-Fi/NSA/HBS) (the latter acting as a Red Arrows spare or serve peak time runs).
- 6055 could go to CLS as a spare for the Angel alongside 3962.
This would then leave:
3941, 3942, 3963, 3964, 3965.
- 3941 would remain as present providing last resort spare for Riverside. In total, Riverside and Hexham would have 3 spares for a PVR of 18 or, 2 spares for a PVR of 18 if 6049 is required on the TTX.
- 3942 and 3963 - 65 would go to Percy Main and replace the Plaxton President and ELC Lolyne Dennis / Transbus Tridents for DFDS work.
