4846, 4906, 4907 should donate their coloured fronts to 4967, 5218 and 5227.

Riverside also have 6084 and 3963 with coloured fronts, but there is a TTX which has plain orange front.

Wonder if the toonlink volvos could donate their rear displays to the rear of the TEN deckers.

Yes, 4940 is at the top of the list to have its flipdot destination displays replaced as it's the only branded Scania L94UB in the fleet now without LEDs. I do have a list of potential 'destination cascades' but I shan't bore you all and it will take time to implement. It takes into consideration the branded vehicles in the fleet which have had their colour destinations removed in the past for various reasons and haven't had them replaced as destinations are incredibly costly!

Volvo B7TL 3963 can't donate its destinations to a Volvo B9TL as its destination is a colour 160x19 (like the OmniCitys), whereas all other Volvo B9TLs in the fleet are 144x19.

Most of the "Toon Link" Volvo B10BLEs have no destinations at all or flipdots, to my memory. Regardless of that, the cost would be quite significant to start retrofitting 128x17 full rear destination displays to replace smaller 32x17s, so I doubt the small rear displays for the "TEN" branded vehicles will be replaced.
