If you didn't care about branding allocations, maybe you could send 3 of the Angel Streetdeck's out early for the 14/50 and 3 B9TL's for the 34 to Washington (from 6149-61 ideally) 'withdrawing' the 3 07 Plates there (which won't be going anywhere in reality). The B5TL's filling the gaps for the time being, since they look the same to a punter anyway and then decide what on earth the plan is for them since they're unreliable, usually, as an understatement. The extra 4 'newer' vehicles might help not having ex London stock on your flagship route in the short term, at least.
