But Shields depot are not short Robin. Shields reduced the number of vehicles required due to the number of services reducing.   If they needed (need) more vehicles they would not have transferred as many out.

On paper the PVR of Shields should be 31 now, and they have 35 E200 left - leaving four spare, plus 35188 which is their reserve vehicle.
