Because Coventry have spare buses when the electrics go into service and BC need extra buses next Tuesdsy for increased serviced

It's a 'how long is a piece of string' question

At the moment no-one knows which routes will be busy next week. They are at BC nominally for extra Dynamic spares, but if they are needed elsewhere they will move on or back

Is CV likely to lose more elderly Tridents or staying for the time being as useful DDs?
