I might be a mile off here, but that leaves a spare ratio of about 9%? 2x single deck vehicles to cover 82/82A/85/86/88/88A. Usual PVRs are 7x Cadets, 4x MPD and 8x Versa?
Washington's spare vehicles on a Monday - Friday are made up as follows:
- 3x Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President
- 1x DAF SB120/Wright Cadet
- 2x Scania L94UB/Wright Solar
- 1x MPD
The PVRs at Washington on a Monday - Friday are made up as follows:
- 19x double deck
- 27x single deck / midibus
- 4x minibus
As such, the spare vehicle percentage by vehicle size on a Monday - Friday is as follows:
- 15.8% double deck
- 11.1% single deck / midibus
- 20% minibus
