If all buses are being used how can they be loaned

All buses aren't bein used. Out of around every 85 buses at a garage, 15 are not in use on average.

More like 1 in 10, most garage only have about 10% spares

Sorry 10% rather than 15%. Still, not all buses are not being used so they are available if another Garage requires. Also don't forget buses are also on the pits so not all vehicles are out.

I have a photograph which I haven't yet put on the website showing a completely empty Acocks Green garage, not a bus insight!

What time was it? Is it just indoor or does it include where the Blythe Valley B6s were parked on the wall outside, and where the Geminis are parked outside, and the engineering building?

It was taken about 2 months ago at around 17:30. The only buses not in use were in the seperate maintenance building

Fair enough. Don't suppose you can upload it?
