The Cathedral buses might not be repainted, they could stay white and just have the branding removed. We now know they have been withdrawn anyway, plus not suitable for the 74 contract specification, which sparked my question initially.
Yes, I am well aware the PVR is 1 (sometimes 2 buses required due to breakdowns), all I meant is currently there is corporate Solo SRs 665/666, Tynedale Links 667-671 and 721 and corporate Versas 5377-5379 available for the 74 (not at once, but on individual days) whereas only 2 Cathedral buses exist in total, leaving 1 spare in the event of a breakdown.
Is the 684 partly operated by Riverside then, when deckers are on? 6196 is based at Riverside I believe, and has recently been used on the 643, 684, 941 and various scholars routes.
They would need atleast a PVR 5, 3x 684, 1x 74, 1 Spare
There are no Euro 6 Solo's apart from 717 & Sunderland Connect Vehicles which also have USB's
