Some of the Ex First Sheffield examples which I've been on several times on the 67/69 are in quite good condition in comparison to the 63 Plate Versa's which are of the same age and I think they're Euro 6 also so potential for them to stay a little while longer. 

With the remaining Citaros/Versa's you have a PVR of 25 which I think could be fully withdrawn in coming weeks once the New Buses/Fleet Movements have occurred. 

I think 6308-6314 should be branded for Prince Bishops Services (20/20A/X20/65), this would free up 7 Streetlites 5428-5434, yes you'd have a mixed allocation however some services at peak times need the deckers. 

The Angel Streetdecks will release 16 Streetlites off of the Coaster 1 5451-54/5460 & 5470-80, I jiggle these about a bit so that the 66 Plates are split between Riverside/Percy Main and the 17 Plates are all at Washington. 

The X66 is getting New E200EV's in the coming months which will release E200MMC's 5488/5491/5498 to Consett releasing 3 Streetlites which have been escaping onto other services due to the PVR shortage which will hopefully be resolved.

With the above changes that would allow for the Citaros and Versas to be Withdrawn.
