Using smaller buses on less-demanding services with better
frequencies would be much better than having a full 12m bus running
empty or half-empty at a longer interval. For example, 882 is
usually, at best, half-filled. Using a smaller bus like the
Enviro200, MAN 14.220 would be more efficient fuel-wise, especially
when the bus is not very heavily loaded. 354 also tends to run
about with barely any passengers. Using smaller, more efficient
buses here could be beneficial. However, it's only feasible if more
services require smaller buses. It's not much use if only 1 or 2
services require these smaller buses, because maintenance costs
will be relatively high.
Services I think have use for smaller buses: 926, 925C, 882,
354, 408 and 409, RWS8, RWS88, 927, 284.

If you gotta buy 10.6m SDs, you'll end up having
to face additional cost due of non standardisation.
To me it's either midi, 12m, 2x ADD or 3x ADD.
408 & 409 uses Sv 93 x-over.
RWS8 is considering weekend load. RWS88 to cease ops aft tis
weekend.
