10 Streelites for the Durham Diamond (includes 1 spare), allows the depot to have 2 overall spares for the 16/16A and the Red Kites.
The Ciatro's can replace buses on less demanding routes.
While it can, i don't think depot standardization is taken into account when ordering new vehicles ie. you wouldnt order new buses for a not so profitable route just so you can get rid of a vehicle type from that depot.
