On the same day they withdrawn the Blonde 38 route (or the section where the Blonde bus was allocated anyways) so unless there was immediate plans to repaint the Blonde/Purples to me it would have made more sense to keep as many Peterlee Purples locally at Deptford and send the blonde one elsewhere (which now has zero relevance anywhere)?
I'm not sure the Peterlee Purples bus is permanent or just temporary with the reduced timetable. It seems to be a bit odd to send 1 bus in the middle of the batch. I think some people might be getting confused with 680 - 682 and the Little Pinks from Washington.
It's the same with 659 at Washington which makes even less sense when they sent their own to Percy Main. #
It depends what goes on the 74 / 684 ultimately though as I could imagine some the Solo's from Hexham going elsewhere as something has to come for the Euro 6 from somewhere.
