I think Stanley and Chester-le-Street depots could do with an additional spare, as Stanley seem to have Olympians out regularly.
Omnis are what... 06/56 plate vehicles? I'd say it makes more sense to have your older vehicles as spares, as they're doing with the Solars. There's a few services that could have done with a nice upgrade to Omnicities. I'm pleased to see that the 50 is one of them selected.
