Yes, the three in Opt 2 would be for Washington taking the total number of new StreetDecks to 16x. So with 6362-75 forming a PVR of 14x + 6361 and 6376 as spares, that would be the X1 sorted.

The 50 (should be standalone after 24/07) would continue using 6301-07 with OmniDekkas as spares.

X21 would remain unchanged for both option 1 and 2. However, the other option as mentioned depending on Consett's evening & Sunday interworking patterns would be 9x B5TLs in exchange for 9x E400MMC to Riverside. So would work out something like this

StreetDeck:
- 6301-07 - 50 (OmniDekkas as spares for 50)
- 6315-30 - 21
- 6331-33 - Riverside Spares
- 6356-60 - X45
- 6361 - Washington Spare
- 6362-75 - X1
- 6376 - Washington Spare

E400MMC:
- 6336-37 - Consett Spares**
- 6338-40 - X30/X31
- 6341-43 - Riverside Spare**
- 6344-51 - X21
- 6352-55 - X10

B5TL:
- 6308-14 - X70/X71/X72
- 6334-35 - Consett Spares

** Note that 6336-37 would be Consett's low height spares instead of 6341-42. This would provide an even more robust spare vehicle solution for Riverside with plenty of suitable spare vehicles for the X10/X21, both high mileage services and 6341-43 would be capable of lasting a full day on the X10 if required as a spare.
