Which means they have 1 spare (6087 [i think]) + Plaxton President for 5025 and it seems that 4274 has been running duplicates all week. So really their are no spares anymore.
My comment about a rusty pride was in jest, perfectly understandable to repaint it given its condition. At face value, 5292 appeared to be repainted into Sunderland District just to fit in with the re-brand rather than for that reason, as it could equally have been repainted back into its pride livery, hence my questioning as to why 6086's would be retained if required for the Tyne Valley 10 rebrand. But the introduction of a new pride bus this year makes sense.
