- 16+2 spare deckers for Riverside / Hexham (spares fitted with Tacho)
- 6084 becomes dedicated TTX spare
- 6071 to 6083 transfer to Washington for X1
- 6001 to 6007 and 6049 to 6051 transfer to Stanley for Northerns with 6052 as spare.
- 6054 / 6055 remain at Washington and either see service go back upto every 10 minutes Mon-Fri or they just get used on Saturdays (or if needed during week). If the former, plug sockets fitted on them 2x.
- 6053 acts as a spare for Washington (no plug sockets like 6054/55.
- OmniDekkas begin to replace Presidents / Vykings thus taking a more back seat role.
- Would free up 5x B7TL Geminis or 7x if the Angel got new buses with spares.
If the 10s do get 16+2 deckers i think...
1x B9 to Percy Main to cover PVR shortfall
12x B9 to Stanley for 6
12x Omnidekka to displace Presidents within fleet
4x B7s from Riverside/ Hexham to Percy Main for DFDS (Since Dan confirmed omnidekkas going on DFDS, 4x B7TLs to go to Chester for X25)
If 21 do get deckers I would imagine it would be 2017-2018 financial year
So 17+2 spare deckers
13+2 spare B5LH to Riverside for 27
7 Citaro to X35 (X5 depending on changes)
5 Citaro to Hexham for X84/X85
5 L94 to Percy Main for 19/ Or to Chester for 28 - B10s to be displaced
