Because the 57 reg ones wouldn't cut the 14, X14, 20 and X20 but, they would cut the X21 and X22 and if the 14, X14 , 20 and obviously to stop a common 308 scenario happening with the X21 and X22, if any of the 5 MAX spec vehicles became VOR on the X18 for a long period, then it would be replaced with anything from 7514 to 7521 in turn being replaced by a B7 or Lowlander. A similar cascade rule could in turn apply if any two of the 14 Sapphire vehicles became VOR and the 15th one was already replacing one of them or in the worst case scenario, was also VOR. A MAX vehicle could then be allocated and from there, a hierarchal process continuing from there. I wonder whether the PVR will be increased with the 15th vehicle. Would they be interworking?Would it not have been sensible to put the newer,more reliable, ones on the more premium service though to aid time keeping and reliability? And will they alternate the spare so that one desnt have far less milage than the others?
