The money would only be 'wasted' if you were painting a vehicle to be a branded spare rather than as a 'red spare' (Solars are meant to be taking a 'spare role' in the fleet from now) or indeed to make sure you have enough branded vehicles to make up the PVR.
The PVR of the Crusader is 14, not 15. There are 14 vehicles branded. Not too sure where you're getting your figures from!
The Blaydon Racers will receive a Merc - how, we don't know. While the latest plan I am aware of suggests that the Blaydon Racers will receive a former Cobalt Clipper Merc, it is entirely possible that the original plan for a Laser Merc to be transferred will go ahead instead.
While I am in no way suggesting that the former "Cobalt Clipper" branded Mercs are to go anywhere else other than the Blaydon Racers/Wear Tees Xpress as I and others have previously alluded to, there is plenty of scope for plans to change - as we all know.
If the Blaydon Racers was not to receive the vehicle from the Cobalt Clipper, the Laser is the only other option (given that it currently has a split allocation anyway). It wouldn't be 'daft' of Go North East to replace the branded Merc for a branded Solar, if the vehicle was available.
Haha, keeps us on our toes!
I was under the impression that an extra bus had been added to the PVR to help improve the reliability of the service some time ago and with the original PVR of 14+1=15, i agree that was some time ago but ive got better things to do with my time than to work PVRs out after a timetable change-they happen far too often to keep up with them!
