The PVR of the X70/X71/X72 is 7
There's not enough Enviro 400 MMC's unless they shifted the 2 spares from Riverside across and in turn shifted all the Streetdeck's to Riverside or elsewhere with 6377 being the spare for the X10. It wouldn't be the worst idea in the world tbh for fleet standardisation.
Pretty much, they used to interwork with the X70/X71/X72 but since the frequency decrease 20 mins vs 30 mins it wouldn't work anymore.
Therefore, the total combined PVR of those services would be 8x (minus the peak extras for the X30/X31). That leaves 6x E400MMC. The PVR of the 47 is 6x and with 6336-37 sent back to Consett, that would provide enough 'low height' Euro 6 decker cover as well as an upgrade for the 47.
As for StreetDecks 6356-63, 7x would go on the X70/X71/X72 with 1x going to Washington to make up a full PVR of 14x on the X1. 6331-32 would be Washington's spares for the X1 with 6333 being Consett's spare for anything bar the X30/X31/X45.
Whilst Riverside (incl CLS' ops moving there) would lose 2x E400MMC and 2x StreetDecks (would be 6331-32 as 6333 is already at Consett), they'd gain 5x B9TL from Consett (with the 6th making up the 58 PVR increase) and 1x B5TL as spare. This coupled with 2x B9TLs already there and 6099 (Percy Main would have 6100-01 as spares) would provide 9x spare vehicles for a Euro 6 decker PVR of 69x (7.66:1 spare). I'm not counting 6377 as that's mainly a float but also another option available if desperate.
