What services would the inspectors take these buses from im guessing the ones that do the short workings on the Soho Road as school service generally need double deckers and that the Soho has  are gualr enough service to cope if there are a couple of buses missing whilst working school services, also the drivers that were waiting buses at 9:30-10:00 will this mean buses will be missed out on certain services due to unavailabilty.

The 53 is the route with the missing buses. Finally I know why the bus never comes

all are correct, but you forgot the 289 - Mercedes 0405N as it works with the 53, but you get the occasional B6 and B7RLE on them as well.
an empty bus is a happy driver.
