One of them is required for a scholars service. I'd have guessed it would make the most sense for the two DAF SB120s to transfer back to Deptford...
Let's not forget the PVR of the "Fast Cats" X35/X36 is reducing by one... It'd be unusual of Go North East to keep a branded spare for the service, when the majority of other services only have corporate liveried spares.
Well 8272/73 could transfer to Deptford, and replace two Solars to the Prince Bishops.
And they were only painted a month or so ago, so wouldn't it not be against GNE's ''policy'' to repaint them so soon after repaint?
