5273 is currently on the 9 though, which means that one still hasn't gone to Stanley and the withdrawals at that depot can't occur.
There is no correlation between the withdrawal of SPD vehicles and the reason why the purple Versas at Deptford are not branded.
8227 is still at Chester-le-Street, though it has not been active for the past week or so.
8231 is still very much active, and I don't think it's seen a day where it has not been allocated.
8232 has seen very occasional use at Chester-le-Street, but as a last resort.
8237 has been on the Lime quite frequently this week, so that is still active.
8289 will, as far as I know, remain active until 4931 is repaired.
8221 is and has been for the past few days, parked at the back of Stanley depot. Having evaluated my photograph, I notice it does not have a ticket machine - it therefore shouldn't be allocated.
8231 won't be replaced by an OmniCity as it's merely a loan brought in to assist with operational convenience. It will be withdrawn without replacement.
The fact that it still has an O-Licence and validator suggests that it is still to sit as a spare though.
