The Fab56 PVR has reduced by one, but given there were several 'unbranded' Volvo B9 anyway, it meant that one of the spares could be sent away. 6086 and 6099 will be the spare buses for the 56 going forward, with 6085 forming part of the PVR of the 56 (as it did previously).
Will 6100 be refurbished or just deep cleaned?

Longer-term there will be a plan for two double-decks to join Percy Main, one of which will be PVR and the other will be spare (and 6069 will be repainted and branded for Coaster).
The 40/41/42 should be allocated Solo SRs, the 11 should be allocated the older 10-plate Solos, and the 19 should be allocated two Solos too.
I take it the longer term double decks will be from the Red Arrows due to them being the same specification?
