We know that the Upcoming Service Changes will result in 6 Vehicles becoming available, and that NPower have decided to stop operating the Russel Forster P&R due to nobody using it which results in another Vehicle becoming available, Totaling 7 Vehicles becoming spare. 

We also know that 5332 has joined the Blaydon Racers having previously been branded Crusader, furthermore 2 Versas will departing Deptford one of which we know is 8329, and we also know that as result of a decrease in frequency on the 56s that 6087(I think) will be Repainted Red and transferred to Riverside as back up for the TTX/TEN, So that leaves us with 3 Vehicles plus another to be transferred elsewhere, to allow for either 4 Omnicities from Stanley or Percy Main, or the 4 Solars at Washington to move to Riverside to temporarily replace the Merc Artics until New Vehicles arrive in between March and May iirc Citaro5284 saying a few weeks back.

What would be the point in replacing 4 buses from Stanley, Percy Main or Washington for around a month then transferring them back be? I also used logic by dismissing the possible transfer the Omnicities over, they are required on services X70/X71 and 9. I purposely didnt mention anything about the 4 Solars at Washington - i don't know what their uses are. I think they're spares but i wasn't sure. Plus the fact that the Omnicities only have 41 seats compared to a Solar which has 42 seats. Those aren't really that big for such a popular service but a Renown has 44 seats - still not a great deal but they have the most seats (not including deckers) and would therefore be slightly more suitable. Either way, i think the vehicles used will be sourced from Riverside.
