------------
Going by your suggestion of the 35:
8 Streetlites for the 35
8 for the 2/2A
2 spares
-----------
Cascades:
Citaro's
5 Citaro's to the 61
2 to the 9
1 spare
Versa's
7 Simplicity Versa's to Chester, 5 for the Waggonway - 2 spares - means Chester are on the way to "Depot standardisation", replaces the last 3 B10's and some of the older Scania's.
What I thought was...
9? Streetlites for the Simplicity 2/2A - then the 13 Simplicity Versas and 8328 and replace the 15 See it do it Citaros (I think there is one spare anyway?) and allocated to the 35 and 36. (can't see them having a mixed brand/allocation)
Then I agree that 2 Citaros will go on the 9 (5326 and 5327), which leaves 12 spare. Then I think 12 will be transferred to Percy Main for both the Blue Arrow and 19 - there would be no spare for this but 5254 would provide cover, along with some Solars which would still remain.
4978-82 would then transfer to Deptford for the 61, and the Blue Arrow Solars to Riverside for the 67/69 and to replace older Solars.
If there are 8? other Streetlites due then I am not sure what these would be for.
