A mate of mine has confirmed that the 3 evoras 6014/6015/6016 are for #38 duties.
The MMCs:
574
575
576
577
Are now for #31/#37 duties instead. Those can often be full & standing on quite a few trips so bigger buses will be much better.

6014 isn't yet showing in service. 575 is tracking as the third vehicle on the 38 today.
The 31/37 did see some decker workings with Arriva. The new MMCs have around the same number of seats as the older 10.8m Enviro 200s and the Streetlite DF, so there won't be noticeable changes in seating capacity on most journeys. Although, maybe the risk of a 8.8m Enviro 200 turning up is reduced.
I think the daytime 31, 37 and 38 services are all commercial too, so they won't be routes D&G are at risk of losing when the new council contracts come into effect at the end of the financial year. And D&G will give up the 385 in January as part of the Bee Network introduction.
