It should be noted that Go North East's spare vehicle percentage is increased by the amount of spare double deckers, and this is to be expected as Go North East operates a large amount of scholars services. By comparison, Stagecoach Busways' spare vehicle percentage for single decks is 13.7% and likewise Transit at 11.4%. Busways has an 11.8% spare vehicle percentage for double deckers, but Transit has 25%. Like Go North East, Transit (Stockton) operates quite a few scholars services, accounting for the higher double decker spare percentage.
As an entire company, Go North East's spare vehicle percentage is higher than Stagecoach North East's.
