No doubt there will be a Reshuffle of Vehicles anyway, i.e. at Stanley and Riverside as they don't have any Scholars Services in the coming weeks, which will allow for greater flexibility with Allocations, which in turn would allow the above to go ahead with the B9TL's for example. Northern/Red Spare Vehicles are to cover for Branded Vehicles, so I don't see how sending 2/3 Vehicles from each Brand will Dilute it, if sees regular usage of Spare Vehicles anyway.
........because if those one or two Volvo B9TLs being VOR and replaced by red spares isn't diluting the brand enough - if you have three or four up Glasgow too, that's gonna be five or six red spares substituting B9TLs instead of one or two.
