They can be, but that obviously wasn't the intention when ordering them. The benefit of having fleet liveried spare vehicles to the same specification as the branded vehicles which they were ordered with means that they can be used on other services if not required by other services which they are the intended spares for (in this case, 58/X66). Go North East aims to have one fleet liveried spare vehicle per every 7 - 8 vehicles.
