Well, bar the Deptford ones, these are the SPD's that need replacing:
8220 - Winlaton
8221 - Stanley
8229 - Gateshead
8236 - Chester-le-Street
8237 - Chester-le-Street
8238 - Chester-le-Street (Can't 4944 just be it's replacement?)
8239 - Percy Main
8241 - Percy Main
8289 - Chester-Le-Street also.
I'd imagine the movements will probably see 4 Solars at Chester stay there to replace their vehicles with 1 moving across to Gateshead. 4 Renowns then off to Percy Main, Stanley & Winlaton. There's also 1 solar spare at Chester too not sure where that'll end up. Citaro5284 has just said that one solar will also move from Deptford. Maybe the Chester spare and one from Deptford as a regular allocation for the 71? Allowing X25/71 to be solar routes?
Deptford will gain 17 B9's. Lose 11 SPD's, 4 Renowns & 2 Solars which gives them like for like replacements.
