I don't think new B9's would be used on Scholars run, as they have been purchased as backup for mainline services 56/309/310.
Probably have to wait until Pronto allocation is resolved to see spare deckers released to withdraw Olympians.
Also the capacity of B7's 6008-6042 may be problem and some contracts are specific.
Due to the Vykings being poor on hills, i'd send those at Riverside depot to Percy Main, in exchange for Tridents, as Rosehill is the only problem in N Tyneside. Most tridents are better on hills.
The 9 will probleys need a decker during the school runs, the new B9's will be used on other services but dont think for the school runs.
The Vykings could end up anywhere but they struggle on a stright road, can't wait for them to be withdrawn,which has to be soon?
