So in this instance I don't get why have one less branded vehicle, maybe 1 Gemini in red possibly unless there hoping the improved reliability of the new vehicles will help this? It does seem strange to me however. As I don't think seeing a fab56 off route is too common at the moment.
The B9s should be more reliable than Solars, and therefore the appearance of any vehicle besides a branded one should be uncommon. That said, there are occasions when one may be VOR, so having two fleet liveried B9s covers you on those occasions.
If one was branded, it would have to sit in the depot all day because it should only ever be on the 56.
