82 uses 2 deckers
Total 17
Allocated 20 - how is there only one spare, are some deckers off the road?

Perhaps my previous explanation regarding the ex-London Volvo B7 wasn't clear enough. The three Volvo B7s which are allocated to scholars services during term time also work Nexus Misc Works services and peak-time commercial services.

The Nexus Misc Works services and peak-time commercial services still operate, even when the scholars services do not, so the PVR for ex-London Volvo B7 remains at 3 regardless of whether the scholars services are in operation or not.

14 Volvo B9 - X1
1 Volvo B7/Gemini - X1
3 Volvo B7/President - Misc Works
2 Volvo B7/President - 82

..which yields one spare Volvo B7/President to cover for any double-decks which may be VOR on service X1 (and as I said before, at a PVR of 15, one is always going to be VOR, on a daily basis).
