3995 and 3996 have not replaced anything at Stanley yet. Then there is 6136-6140 which, in total means there are 7 vehicles to replace 7 (2 lolynes and 5 olympians). We may aswell say the 2 Omnidekkas that michael just mentioned replace 6024 (covering for 3873), 3874 with another, still to arrive, replacing 3880. This would mean that Stanley would only be 1 vehicle down (5292) but that could easily be solved by retaining a Renown for a bit longer (could just use 4896) - it could be argued that 547 was doing this job but it is no longer required at Stanley after being replaced on the Tesco Freebus by 553.
