Good buses the B7's imo. I always think it's a shame they didn't make a 2 axle B8TL for routes that need a bit more rather relying on a turbo. The B5TL is fine for the likes of London though.
For swapping things around, not sure how connected GNE and EYMS are but you'd probably be better sending all the B5TL's and as useless up here B5LH's for their 11 plate Enviros 400's (901 - 910) for the 16/16A and 69 plate Enviro 400 MMC's (911 - 921) for the X5/X15/X21 with 6338 - 6340 filling the gaps. Least then the B5's are doing work which their pretty much designed for especially now the Zebra bid failed.
