Another example is also the changes to the 17/17A etc... The 40/41 got new buses and then changed juat after, meaning 4 older Solo Sr's had to be repainted to join the brand.
Cobalt Clipper too, they changed them after they got new buses so the PVR went up meaning they lost a spare....
I bet it happens with the new buses arriving too.
Even though the PVR increased by 1 on the Clippers, it actually (barring before 7am and after 10pm to and from Newcastle) offered a better service plus looking into the number of complaints flooding in at the time about the 308 (may have improved now) gave good justification to increase the frequency between Whitley Bay and Blyth but still leaving 1x spare.
