That's quite a sizeable list, add those to the vehicles in paint and that's around 40. Plus there's bound to be buses parked in garages for routine maintenance and break downs.
Is this quite normal or are things a little tight for operational buses? Is the figure of around 10% spare still right?

As well as general engineering spares, there is a paint float, so buses in paint don't come out of the general total, and also a 'Road Ready Reserve' which can help out any garage in need which is why 4180, 4181 & 4185 are swapping around.
