Having lost the tenders for routes 5/15/N15/115 Stagecoach are going to have a lot of surplus deckers this year discounting that the 15 is run by Borismasters.

What are the PVR's for these routes? Also, the Borismasters are leased from TfL and not owned and, thankfully, they will never see service outside of the capital.

Im guessing the Boris masters will just pass over to the new operator of the tender.

They indeed will. In practice I doubt this will lead to many Stagecoach cascades outside London. Routes 5 & 115 officially uses Tridents from around 2003. Furthermore, during the 2006-10 period when Stagecoach London had been sold to Macquarie, they sold and leased back much stock. This suggests that a number of such Tridents will be withdrawn off lease in August.
