Maybe if there no spares maybe that white StreetLite or MMC could be permenantly bought and repainted to be used as spares.

5337/5338 were down as being withdrawn anyway after all the dupes had finished, this was along with5481-5487 although 5482/5485 already withdrawn.

So we all know the Lothian buses. The white StreetLite and the two metro buses will be going away as they have fleet numbers 90**

But here's what I'm wondering. What will happen to 5501 5502 5504 (The East Yorkshire Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse 2) and 5505 and 5506 (The London Scania OmniCitys) 

Will these see public service and which depots. Has anything been confirmed what's happening to them after Duplicates end. Whenever that is

Sure it was confirmed these will be scrapped for parts to use the on the GNE batch once they weren't needed.

I do wonder how many buses will actually be withdrawn after all the dupes are finished - likely to find the School tenders will be put out in the next couple of months so it'll depend on how many GNE get.
