Happened to me once where my 56 drove into the depot and everyone got transferred onto a waiting Volvo B7TL / Plaxton. Got a photo of the Solar (I think, it might have been some other vehicle) in the depot from the top deck of the B7TL whilst the driver was setting the bus up.
Slightly worrying that the President wasn't parked outside of the depot if it was planned... Guessing you and other passengers didn't have a high visibility jacket on, and that shouldn't have been allowed.
Last time something similar happened to me, both buses parked outside of the depot.
I think the chances of a bus feeling unwell and needing to be replaced at Washington depot are slim though, so I wouldn't like to think danpick relied on the 56 serving the depot as a result of that!
