Not quite, Scott.

Prior to the changes in September, Go North East had a PVR of 18 which was covered by 28 coaches in total. The service changes which were made resulted in a total loss of 7 vehicles from the PVR, meaning that they were covering a PVR of 11 with 28 coaches in total.

These changes allowed for the withdrawal of Volvo B12B/Plaxton Panthers 7092 (K2 VOY) and 7093 (K3 VOY) from the National Express fleet, with five coaches being left as additional spares pending discussions with National Express in regards to gaining more work. Changes to National Express contracts from Tuesday 21st October 2014 (when Go North East gained services 591/594 from Yourbus) saw the PVR rise by two vehicles again.

This means that, for the time being, Go North East still currently has three additional spare coaches, as I said before.  
The fleet is far from stretched at the moment as they're covering a PVR of 13 with 26 coaches... I think recent loans have more so been due to coaches breaking down mid-route...
