I think the simple answer is "lots".
There's quite a few buses kicking around in the fleet which should have long since been withdrawn (having been replaced by other cascaded buses earlier in the year), but were retained over the summer for these contracts, and that's before you take into consideration any buses being withdrawn after the loss of Miscellaneous Works contracts.

Sorry, you're right.
The diversion/rail replacement buses are still scheduled for that weekend, too, though.
