Without causing a massive debate:

Scania Omnicities are officially allocated to the Percy Main 9s. However, Volvo B10BLEs are still a daily occurrence on there because the Scanias are either VOR or they are covering for vehicles on 'Coaster' service 1 or 'Cobalt Connect' service 19. My point is, despite not being the normal allocation, Volvo B10BLEs might as well not be classed as odd and the last few times i have been to Hartlepool, I have seen more MANviros than Darts on the 1 and, as plenty more have been spotted on since, could this not be classed as 'normal' (ie. happens a lot rather than allocation normal) now?

Obviously we have had similar debates in the past regarding buses of the same spec but not branded (such as 5401) covering for a branded vehicle and i have often been the starter of to which, if anybody has noticed, i have only started posting 5337/5338 on diamonds if i am posting another rare/odd working with it, otherwise it doesnt get posted at all.
