I didn't know 03/53 MAN ALX300 saloons were reserve. MAN E200s are indeed used on 6/7/8/32/32A/72. They are 09 reg buses, I think. The short body Dart Pointer is what I was thinking of, formerly used on 32/32A, which I believe are not in service any more having been replaced by the short bodied MAN E200s.
34194 is still kicking around in Newcastle too, although it is on disposals now. Cumbria have taken on a few of the NK04 and NK56 batches.
