Far too quick to be quoting my posts on a Sunday morning! I'm sure each of my posts usually gets edited about three times within the first few minutes of posting it.

That should be the last time you'll see a Volvo B10BLE on the 47 on a Sunday!
Although the main Monday - Saturday operation of service "Red Kite" service 47 is now standalone and no longer interworks with "Toon Link" services 11/31/32 as it did in the past when a part of the "Toon Link" brand, the Sunday operation of "Red Kite" service 47 still interworks with "Toon Link" services 11/31/32. The PVR of 6 is an even split of three "Red Kite" branded Volvo B9TLs and three "Toon Link" branded Scania OmniCitys (when they are repainted, branded and enter service).
I personally would have preferred to see all four Volvo B9TLs used in addition to a red Volvo B7TL/Wright Gemini and 6084, to reduce the amount of customer confusion. However, I'd assume that the logic in keeping one Volvo B9TL off the road is so it can be serviced on the Sunday, reducing the likelihood of a red spare having to be used during the week.
