There are exceptions whereby if the 'standardised vehicle' is not suitable, it obviously cannot be allocated - a good example being the "Red Arrows".
If the "Red Kite" generates more revenue than the X70/X71, I imagine Citaros will go there before they go to the X70/X71. Similar story for the X30/X31 and the X70/X71.
May also be worth noting that if the Red Kite and (some of the) West Durham Swift network receives Citaros, Omnis will be freed up... A suitable place, in accordance with depot standardisation? Percy Main... for the joy and wonder that is the Centurion.
