Equally can't see them being repainted. Green Arrow is a generic brand - remove the 97 branding from the cant rail and you could stick them on any service. 

For the time being I reckon Versa's 5384-90 will go to Washington for the 25/28 (which will eventually move to Riverside) with 5463-69 going to Percy Main for the 1. 5488-98 could stay at Riverside as spares and for use on the X66, eventually going on the 6/12 circuit if that's ever brought back or maybe one day back on the 97 if it returns.

Wonder if there might be more movements, something like

Enviro 200 MMC -> 51/52
51/52 Streetlites -> Washington
All 17 Plate Streetlites -> Percy Main
Some Washington 15 Plates -> Deptford

As far as I'm aware there's not enough buses at Deptford either to withdraw the Violet's without replacement with an increase of frequency on the 65 aswell and can't imagine them wanting a mixed allocation on the 5/9/24/26 or 20/20A/65.

Would leave all the 63 Plate Versa's unallocated to do something aswell - not sure what, maybe the X66, the extra 17 plates at Percy Main could do the 41/41A aswell.
