If frequencies remain the same after future changes, then shortfall could either be made from:
- 3x or 4x surplus B9TLs from the CityRider or Cobalts (time will tell).
- Entire XLines allocation maxed out with 1x scheduled non XLines working and no XLines spares.
- Sneaky order for extra deckers (unlikely) or perhaps a combination of the above and this until circumstances allow.
Will be interesting to see what comes back from the Deptford B9TL refurbs. Perhaps 6084-86 will be kept until all of the 56's are returned then if going XLines, sent off last.
6085 hasn't been at Deptford in months, 6084 only came back to cover for refurbs. 6086 is the spare.
